Visiting pastors is always a rewarding and productive time.  The last few days of rain has also turned it into an adventure.  For instance, after visiting pastor Donato in Helechal, we were heading back to the main road when we got stuck.  Although someone offered us a tow, we decided to try and get out on our own.  After a time of discussion and pushing we finally made it back to the main road with our shoes packed with mud, and our clothes spattered with mud.  It sure spiced up our conversation as we drove to the next visit.  Please continue to pray for our pastors.  Although the Joy of the Lord is always evident, the needs of many of the pastors are great, and they also carry the often heavy load of the needs of their congregations and communities.
