As we traveled to seven villages last week following up Bible Study contacts, we rode numerous boats, and hiked in and out of villages to visit contacts from the Nehemiah Teams and from our partners. Over the course of the week, I made several observations:
1. The heaviest person becomes the ballast for the boat - GUESS WHO?
2. "Tevas" are great for walking in mud or water(thanks for the recommendation, Kim!) - just make sure there are no rough edges on the seams - BLISTERS HURT!
3. Bedtime comes early on the river - so does MORNING!
4. The mosquito net is your friend. It keeps out more than just mosquitoes!
5. Death is no respecter of persons - this week we saw that it comes to infants, children, mothers, and grandfathers.
6. Thousand of people in hundreds of villages in Eastern Samar are lost and headed for an eternity without Christ because they have not heard the true Gospel.
7. The harvest is plentiful - the laborers are very few.
Pray for us and with us for the Estehanon people (Waray-Waray speaking people of Eastern Samar) that the Holy Spirit would convict of sin, righteousness, and the judgement to come.
Pray for faithful witnesses to share the true Gospel with them, that it is by grace they are saved, through faith, not by any works.
Pray for seed to be planted in good soil.
Serving Him,
Suzie and Carl

Thanks again for your specific prayer requests.
Noticed they caught a 21 ft crocodile south of you on Bunawan. They say it beat the world record by 3 ft. Be careful.
I am praying for your safety and well as the salvation of the Estehanon people.
Thank God and you again for your faithfulness.
