Buenos Noches mi amigos!!This morning's worship service was attended by many. We took about 60 bibles to church this am that were gifted to us from the Gideons. New Testament translated into Spanish. We asked ages 12-25 to come to the front of church to receive one as the older generations mostly are illiterate. We hoped to get at least one into each family. The CR churches here, typically celebrate the Lord's Supper every first Sunday of the month. That didn't happen to be today, but they decided to move it up one week so we could celebrate together. You can see women have their heads covered in God's house. They use all sorts of head coverings, and had extra towels if someone forgot. 
During the worship service in their new church! Women on one side, men on the other is the custom but we were full to the brim today. Typically we don't think there will be this many as perhaps neighboring churches walked a long ways to celebrate the first service with them.
Complete as far as we can go. Someone else will come put doors, window shutters and stucco it.
After the service as a way to celebrate our exciting week we served pop and cake to each person exiting. Since they have no electricity here, we are led to believe they don't experience baked goods very often, or cold pop for that matter, so this is pretty cool!
After this young man was given his new bible, he was immediately reading through it and comparing to a bible of one of the pastors. Heart warming to watch.
Door #2 that these guys and Onita were serving treats out of.
Once again back at the ministry center here. Travels went well, just long and one traffic jam. Praise God from whom all blessings flow.
A job well-done and what a grand Sunday service. Safe travels home.
