This is the little truck we take to meetings every night. We have to take 2 trips to get everyone there. On Sabbath 11 people from Site 3 were picked up to come to church.

The children at Site 3 are obsessed with these spiders and bring them to our meetings every night. They were thrilled when we showed them a Moody nature video about spiders.

Goodbye Malasiqui. We are already looking forward to coming back in 2021! Thank you to Anelyn and Benji for the wonderful meals, and to Pastor and Mrs. Velloso for hosting us. You made this place feel like our home away from home. Our prayers remain with you.

Some of our team were brave enough to hold the precious spiders that the kids at Site 3 would bring every night. Non-poisonous and they don’t bite.

Site 3 - after the evening meeting we would gather for a group prayer.

Always time for a few photos after each night’s meeting.
