Last week I got a chance to visit a nearby town called Egglplant in Spanish. I didn’t see any purple vegetables, but there were tons and tons of trees with a tropical fruit called guayabas. I grew up eating those (and\u00a0enjoy them)\u00a0but this version was a little tarter than I’m used to.<\/p>\n

My reaction to a very green, very sour guayaba.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I took a few hours to explore the town and was followed by\u00a0almost every child in the village.\u00a0 (Probably had something to do with the Jolly Ranchers I had in my bag.)\u00a0 They were quick to point out interesting things, quick to laugh when my feet got covered in mud, and quick to help me with my language learning.<\/p>\n

The scenery was beautiful and the people were very friendly (and very surprised to hear a white girl speaking their language).\u00a0 As opposed to the people of our village, they aren’t used to beginningers, and figured if I understood one thing, I could track with any topic at any speed.\u00a0 If only…<\/p>\n

Some of my new teachers<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

It was a great way to spend a Sunday morning and reminded me that Las Moras is not the only village around here where the gospel has never been heard.\u00a0 We pray that as men and women from this village come to know the Lord they will be motivated to be missionaries themselves, spreading the Word that changes lives and gives hope.\u00a0 Just think…if Paul had been working in this area, there might be a book in the New Testemant called Eggplant.\u00a0 Pray with us that there will be believers there.<\/p>\n
