We had a day off. Today was not a work day and it was a good opportunity for those who needed rest, to do so. I didn’t mention this yesterday because I fealt it prudent to ask him if I could share this first, but our leader, Art Wiens, had to go to the hospital yesterday. Art fealt he was fighting off a persistent chest cold when we came down last week, however he’s been progressively been feeling worse. Yesterday morning we sorted out what needed to happen on the construction site and Art went off to the hospital. It ended up he has a bronchial infection and has received some antibiotics to help correct matters. Art is 75 years old and been on 62 of these types of trips to several countries. Art has a heart to serve God, and I’m glad I’ve had the opportunity to be on two of these trips with him so far. Art still has plans to continue on doing these trips as long as God might have. If you could, please pray for Art’s continued healing.
While Art was resting back at the hotel and Byron was preparing for a message he didn’t know he needed to give for tomorrow, the rest of us went on an expedition. Durand was away at a meeting today, but pastor Fernel took us to a market down by the City Centre. We wanted to walk through the National Museum, however it was closed today. So we went over to a trinket market. Everyone looked through the wares and when the guys started buying, the vultures were out. Everyone had a deal for us, special price price for you. I had a specific item in mind to buy, but didn’t manage to find it, which made my shopping easy, “no thank you”. But just as persistent as we would say “no thank you”, they would tell us that we needed to but something from him or they might die. We made it back to the hotel just fine and took the rest of the day to rest.
