the gospel of John goes south!


ok today. i went on a 7 or 8 (round trip) hour hike into the costa rican jungle to deliver the book of john to the Cabecar tribe. This tribe is about 15k people in total and are the only ones in the world that speak the tonal language. until recently they didn't have the language written down. The new testament is currently almost translated, but for now all we could deliver is the book of john. The landscape was breath taking for lack of a better word. i also got to eat 3 fruits growing wild that i had never even heard of. sweet lemon..some variation of an orange that was green, and a guava..which i've heard of but never eaten as a fruit. phenomenal. the indians are beautiful, mysterious, brilliant people. Pray for them if you can. :) Praise God we all came out safe...no ambulance for snake bites, heat exhaustion, mountain lions etc. i just wanted to list all that so you know we are brave. ;) jk. praise God eternally for protection. aaand i didn't even have explosive bathroom issues..such..a miracle. love you
