I feel like I have been away for so long and with all that has happened I don't know where to start. That is why it has taken me this long to post. As you know I was up the Saramacca river in the interior of Suriname for about 4 weeks. My friends that I told you about, part of an organization called NAPS, came and did a great work. A dentist, medical doctor, and medical assistants came and helped almost 1,000 people. Daily we walked, weather ~rain~ or *shine*, two miles to the school where all the children attended. We taught over 100 children Math, English, Science, and Biblical Morals. The villages where we were working really were ignorant of biblical truths. Nightly we had meetings that enlightened them of the truths that God has in the bible for them. One of the closing events of this trip was a baptism, where 11 persons were baptized.
Now a village that had no church will meet in our locale to have weekly church sessions. The captain of the village, who by the way got baptized, gave us a portion of land where we could build a church. My husband is actually go back down there this weekend to study the dynamics of the land and assess all the things needed to build the church. This is pretty much all that happened in a nut shell, but as the days progress I will try to share with you more of my experience in the interior.
Ahhh...the ball is rolling again!
