The “Elevator” Update (Answers to Your Basic Questions)

1. Everyone is healthy.

2. We are well fed, sampling a variety of local specialties.

3. Our accommodations are very comfortable.

4. We have an excellent team leader, Kelly Bone, two team leaders in training, and no first-time participants on this team. The cumulative experience results in some interesting stories and good cooperation among team members. Of course, we are all still learning, each day is new, and MOST always welcomes and provides good training for new participants.

5. Yes, we are already tired. These first few days have been VERY full. Today we will go to the shelter village and provide water filtration systems for volcano survivors who are preparing to return to their homes. A couple of us will lead children’s activities. We have good interpreters to help us cross the language barrier, but sensitivity to the people and their experiences requires much guidance from the Holy Spirit. Pray that we will be a blessing to these people who have lost so much!
