While we were cleaning up our own flooded home, Archie and Ruth, were out helping people in the church to get to higher ground. I took our three youngest to the Perez home because they kept slipping and falling on the wet tile. So Nehemiah was able to go with Archie on one of his trips out to help.
Later in the day, the young men who are visiting from the States this week went out with them as well. As they entered the chest high water to get to one of the homes the people standing by were amazed that the "elders" were going into the water. Archie was able to tell them that those young men were Baptists, not Mormons, and they were going in to help church members. As you can see Monday was a tremendous opportunity to be a witness for the Lord.
Last night on the way into the church building I noticed several large bags(I'm guessing about 10 lbs)of pasta. The pasta and other non-perishable goods are being collected for the many who are displaced from the floods on Monday. One family in our church lost everything. Please continue to pray for the people here in Uruguay.
