Barb and Jennifer had a very interesting experience today. We took a lunch-time walk around Gaspar Hernandez (the town where we teach ESL.) We met the town judge and a plantation owner. It turns out the plantation owner lived in Boston for 28 years and speaks wonderful English. One of his sisters is the mayor of Gaspar Hernandez. He took us for a little tour of the town and up to meet his other sister. It turns out that her house is the one that we had passed many times and wondered about because there is a big sign in front that says Jesus Christ is my Lord and King of this house. She welcomed us into her big beautiful house with warm, enthusiastic hospitality. We sat on her veranda overlooking the Caribbean and chatted for awhile. She is a social worker who brings food, clothing, and other aid to the poor of the area. She also helps them to find better houseing. She and her brother volunteered to take us for lunch and a day at the beach.
The CE Team yesterday didn't feel we had made any impact on the children at all, it seemed like crowd control. But today when the second team came to do there lesson, the children had made a large poster with hearts all over it thanking Julia, Carol & Joan for a wonderful day! God was at work all the time.
We all had a good day today, but are getting tired. We thank you for your prayers and support.
