Wow, what a week! I spend the past 6 days in El Campo. My group was able to meet nearly 10 families and share words of encouragement and blessings. One family that we visited was just a mother and her son. They take care of many animals and have very little. They are also having problems with a man who wants to claim the property for himself. Right now the government has said that they can not kill any of the animals for food or to sell. This is a major source of food and income and it is all taken away from this mother. She lives on 300 pesos (conversion rate if 3 pesos to $1USD, which equals $100 USD) per month. Please pray for her and for the government to release the hold on her animals.
Speaking of animals, we have seen so many different ones in the desert. Some of the girls in our team seen a scorpion, all of us got to see a tarantula, and some of us got to watch a cow get butchered. After the cow was cut up we cooked it for food. Who needs the market to get fresh meat. At every house we went to we had Mate. Mate is more popular than coffee down here. It is very similar to tea and they use the herb called Yerba. Many of the people drink this Mate with a lot of sugar and it is very delicious.
If you get my emails you will know that there are many ministry oppertunites comming up this week. Please pray for the continual outporing of Holy Spirit.
Blessing
