Adventures and Encounters

“Never pity missionaries; envy them. They are where the real action is

Unwanted Visitor

Well, I guess it was bound to happen while we were here. An ‘unwanted visitor’ showed up for service at Puyupungo Church a few days ago. It was a venomous jungle snake. I’m certain this wasn’t the right spirit, but I knew only one of us was coming out of this alive. And until the

Blessings of the Lord

It’s Ann again. Susan has ‘fancy’ outhouses at her jungle churches. Although there’s no running water, they have a regular house commode in them and you just get a bucket of water from the rain barrel to flush.

There Is Hope!

I was out today doing rice deliveries to families in Puyo. At one of the homes, the young daughter greeted me outside and said to me in an almost embarrassed tone with her head hung down, “Pastora, where I live is very small.” I just smiled and hugged her up close to me, and as
