This little cutie didn't make it through the craft time. They have very long days!

After the lesson, the children do a craft. This day they are making the whale who swallowed Jonah!

This is the Pastor, who works daily with the children & families who live in this very poor neighborhood. He's teaching the story of Jonah & the whale.

The kids love him & his wife!

We found a new place near the PV dump that not only meets the children's physical needs, but is a strong witness for Jesus. Here they are singing,"I'm in the Lord's Army" with all their hearts!

The villagers brought us fish they caught in the river & joined us for a couple of meals by the river.

This amigo dropped off a bag of fresh corn for all of us to eat. His mule is the best mode of transportation in this rocky mountainous region.

Our friends prepared fresh river shrimp soup for us - which was delicious!

This is the only way to get to the next village! We even saw a bus going through the river! I don't know what they do in the rainy season!

Setting up camp by the river in Agua Jote.

This past weekend we visited a village we have gone to before about 3 hours from PV into the interior. This is a look at one of the Mt. roads we traveled on with our truck!

One day we went with the church to deliver beans & rice to a couple of schools for families in need.

While we were helping in the kitchen at the Salvation Army in PV, this little one needed a hug from Peter It's rewarding to serve the Lord!

The children are given a vitamin, & then are required to brush their teeth after each meal served. For most of them, this may be the only meal they will eat today.

I think we fed about 40 neighborhood children, & one family in need of a meal. And then we did all the dishes! But it was fun to serve the Lord & work together. Our friends from Ct. helped us out!

This is the first round of plates to serve the children.

When we got done cutting the corn off the cobs, one of the workers asked us if we'd like to take the COBS to a poor lady down the street. I was glad for the opportunity to meet this dear lady, but still have no idea what she would do with corn cobs with no corn on them! I did have the chance to give her a tract on salvation, though.

This week we helped out at the Salvation Army in their brand new facility.Carole is chopping up vegetables for the children's lunch, which is served every day at noon.

Their motorcycles were loaded with supplies for their 3 month trip. (and Peter thinks I pack alot)!

Last night we had 5 "bikers" camp behind us in tents! (Peter went to the owner & asked special permission for them). They are all Christians, who are traveling from Oregon & Ariz. to Chile! We fixed breakfast for them before they left on their journey, and it was great fun to have the opportunity to get to know them.

We dropped off some shoes, clothing and candy to these kids who go to school in La Placita during the week (because there are no teachers or schools in their far away villages), and then they return home on the weekends. They promised to sing for a video that I can take back with me next year!

This is Peter's interpretation of a Mexican washing machine! It actually works!

God led us one morning to this man, who is a Pastor of a small Church where we are staying. When he heard Peter was a "Gideon", he invited us to speak at his Church.
