Taking a Ride

I'm writing this one a night early, but I just wanted to let anyone reading to know that David and I are planning on making a trip to Coban tomorrow on or motorcycles. It's our day off, and whether the girls here understand it or not, riding a motorcycle can be very spiritual! Coban is somewhere we've never been. It is supposed to be a really pretty place that is well developed compared to the areas surrounding it. Lots of the people we serve in the Zona Reina conisider it to be the closest place for medical and economical help, and for most of them it's still a several hour walk plus 6 hour bus ride. Duane also would like us to check our the runway there for the future. Anyway, I hope we don't warrant to many prayers; David and I are pretty safe on our bikes. We're planning on about a 4 hour ride there.

Today at clinic there were over 60 people, but everthing seemed to flow smoothly and peacefully. It helped to start out seeing the family from last week that wanted to get back in church. This week they came as a FAMILY including the husband/dad. During the week he gave up drinking, and went to church with his family. That is nothing short of a miracle. Armando and Leslie talked with them, encouraged them, and help again with food. Thier little boy is still very malnourished, but was a little more alert today and hopefully on the road to growing.

I don't know if you'll get the pleasure of riding a motorcyle today, but it's my hope that you find something in your day to enjoy simply because God put it there for you!
