Thursday
18 April. Update from Palina Pugo, La Union: today our team conducted
18 Bible studies. 37 people attended. Of these 26 received Jesus as
Savior during the Bible study. 2 were saved yesterday, so total
salvations 28. 3 people are scheduled for water baptism tomorrow.
Living
conditions are challenging--20 people in one house with one toilet,
cold water with a dipper to bathe, very sporadic phone coverage. Food is
basic but good and healthy. No stomach issues.
We've played basketball 3 times with local teenagers and had fun with them. Yesterday our group did a Vacation Bible Study and 38 children attended.
The people here are friendly. It's a rural area, so I walk up mountain paths, through rice paddies and river beds. There is one 2-lane highway that is the only road--everything else is a path off of the highway. About 250 houses in this area, along about 2 miles of highway.
