This morning I awoke at 4:50 to the sounds of squeak, splash, squeak, splash . . . .\u00a0 Agutaynens were already at our well, using our hand pump to fill their containers with water.<\/p>\n

These sounds lasted for about an hour and they will resume later this afternoon about 5 pm.\u00a0 This has been a daily routine in our yard for about a month now.\u00a0 Agutaynens arrive early in the morning so they don\u2019t have to wait in line for water.<\/p>\n

Most afternoons you can see a line of buckets and Agutaynens waiting their turn to go next.\u00a0 Once their containers are filled, they start the long trek back to their homes with their heavy burden.<\/p>\n

Throughout our village are several \u201copen\u201d wells, but most of them have gone dry.\u00a0 We are now entering the fifth month of dry season. \u00a0This is longer than normal, and it may last for another month or two.<\/p>\n

Our well is one of the few that still has water, but it is running\u00a0very low, too.\u00a0 As long as there is water in our well, we will freely give to our friends and neighbors.<\/p>\n

We desire to freely give them the Living Water, too, salvation through Jesus.\u00a0 Some of the Agutaynens who come for water, are already attending evangelistic Bible studies.\u00a0 However, most of them only want the physical water that we offer and not the Living Water.<\/p>\n

Please pray for open hearts and a thirst for the Living Water.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
