This week had a lot of hard work in it and it went fast, even though there was a hindu holiday called "dew-all-e" (spelt differently, but pronounced that way) because of it, most of our appoinments fell through friday-sunday. Its a festival of lights, like light over darkness and they light tons of stuff, fireworks, candles, everything. pretty cool, and they hand out lots of free food to people too. Hindus are very kind and hospitable, even though I can't pronounce their dishes, I eat them all the same. On a more negative side a good friend of ours had to go to the hospital in Port of Spain and we went to give here a visit there and wow, I am grateful for american medical care, that hospital was old, they had no A/C in the wards, just the breeze to cool with the windows open. Hopefully she starts to get better. The hospital really reminded me of hospital levels in games like left 4 dead or call of duty zombies. creepy, doesn't help that it was at night.
we had 2 investigators at church. Its nice to be able to see the results of our work and diligence.
This monday morning we went to maracas beach waterfall and it was a blast! we found a vine to swing on, got to enjoy a nice hike in the jungle and had a rewarding cool mist of a massive waterfall as a treat. the water wasn't running to hard today as it hasn't rained in a while, but the height is pretty great. Because of dewalli there were little shrines along the trail with candles, food, and some coins chilling around. just sitting on rocks and things. They believe their Gods need to eat and so they leave it out for them. Fun trip though
I hope this week goes well, the trip put it off to a good start, but things have a way of not ending so well it seems. I love you all and thank you for your prayers in my behalf.
