We have been drilling wells in and establishing a relationship with a nearby community called Brisa Del Norte. It is a gorgeous community at the base of a mountain, but it is really poor, there are a ton of mud shacks and they have a community bathroom that is under a tarp. We play soccer with them every once in a while on Saturdays. We play a women's game and a men's game and our women absolutely destroy theirs, it's not even a competition but they still try. The opposite has been true for the men, we lost 5-2, 8-3, and then tied 2-2. But in our fourth game last Saturday we won 4-2. We are proud. We were led to victory by a bunch of Rommel's cousins and Pecho Grande (big chest)(Dalton) who pushed their best player around all day using only his chest, it was funny to watch, the little guy stood no chance.
Justin has preached at one of their Wednesday night services but it was really our church in their village, about 5 villagers were there including the pastor. Pray for Christ to influence that village and to save souls there. Also pray that the wells work, there have been a lot of complications with them.
