Tribal Villages - Part 3

The previous village was Tulio's dad's village and our second village, El Salto Chuqunaca, was his mom's village. It was another hour boat ride down the river. They were actually expecting us the next day, so they were a bit surprised when we showed up Saturday afternoon. The first village had about 150 people, while this tribe was about 400 people. It is a more modern tribe with electricity and even the internet. We were quickly introduced upon our arrival (including our marital status, or lack thereof!) and enjoyed another downpour of rain. I note the rain because we prayed for it a number of times to cool things down, but only received a few showers. We put together a Sunday morning worship service and I was finally able to share my mini-sermon. We also visited some classrooms Monday morning (felt like I was back in my element) and presented more of the gospel Monday evening. We had the luxury of "shower" (a little stall with a barrel of cold water to pour over yourself). Our hut was very spacious, but sleeping was a bit confining in our bug nets (though VERY much needed).
