Mountain Adventures

Today we drove almost 2 hours up into the mountains to a small community called La Providencia. It was a long, bumpy trip, and most of us stood in the back of the truck the whole time. We were able to install 8 water filters in this community! We visited with each family, shared the gospel, and gave them a Bible as well. Then we bumped back down the road for another 2 hours. Now we all feel like we've taken a beating! ☺

After an extremely quick dinner and changing clothes (and washing the grime off our faces), we went back to the church in La Isla for a family movie night. We showed The Prince of Egypt, served about 90 bags of popcorn, and passed out cups of lemonade. It was a fun night of building relationships.

Tomorrow will be our last full day here! It's hard to believe our trip is almost over. We will do some more work projects in the morning, and then do some sightseeing in the afternoon. We're all looking forward to some fun!
