Wednesday Update from Rivas

1. Things are going well. We just finished the second day of the institute. Numbers are low because of the strike, but there are some who are still faithful to be there. We had 16 the first day and a little of 30 today. They really seem to enjoy the information - especially the time they spend making observations on their own. They are definitely understanding the material and seem engaged in learning. Even with low numbers, the Spirit still moves and works in the lives of these people.

2. It is very hot down here

3. Jake got stopped by the Nicaraguan police on the way to Rivas (it is normal for the police to stop cars on the highway as they pass through certain checkpoints, kinda like weigh stations in the US) It was funny. Jake gets really tense when we drive by police now.

4. The hotel isn't as nice as the old one and a little inconvenient, but it is nice. We get a place to sleep and that is what counts. The gringo that owns the place is a nice guy and we have made friends.

5. It is hot

6. Prayer requests - continue to pray for the strike - things are still serious and getting worse.

Praise that we still have good health

7. We miss Chris Kear

8. i was going to send you pictures, but it is taking too long. i'll try later.
