Dear Friends,
By the time you read this, we should be into our second day of VBS at Comunidad Cristiana Luz y Vida. Well, we're a bit short on the "luz" (light) at the moment. Our power has been out at the church for a week now, due to a banking error (since corrected) and the power company's continued failure to flip the switch to turn it back on. Fortunately, we do have a generator, which the church purchased a few weeks back for park evangelism events. After a cold, dark service we had back in November, we knew to have it on hand for such a time as this. Even though it blows black smoke and makes a whole lot of noise, so far we have been blessed that none of the neighbors have come down to complain or called the cops. The only real disadvantage is that the generator isn't quite powerful enough to run the air conditioner along with everything else. And it's forecast to be almost 100 again tomorrow. Please pray that the electricity will be restored muy pronto, and that the VBS continues to go well and grow!
On a brighter note, we did find a temporary home for Carrie's large aquarium. A family from the church agreed to house the fish and plants in their own large, already established aquarium, and the tank itself in their garage. This is the best possible scenario, so thanks to those of you who have been praying for a resolution. Please pray that the move (Wednesday) goes well, and that none of the fish are lost in the heat.
Blessings,
Michael and Carrie (Caty) Hamley
