John McDuff and I arrived Saturday afternoon on flights from Indianapolis. After picking us up at the airport, we talked for a while to Leopoldo at the Ciudad Mateo church. Later we headed up to Izopo where we stayed from Saturday evening through Monday afternoon.
Everyone sends their greetings. We were able to talk to several of the families. They are very anxious to see you all this summer. The teacher at the school is especially interested in helping out and working with our group.
We walked by the areas where the bus was stuck. All is dry and the rocks that filled the washout where the bus slid to the side are still there. It is now a great road. There was no rain and lots of sun.
We are looking forward to three more good days visiting other ministries here. Also we will be meeting with several about the future of our ministry in Izopo. There is a sizeable group in Izopo very interested in getting past the problems and working to build the church back up.
I will write more later. The 5:00 supper hour at Baxter is calling and if I remember right we didn't get any lunch as we were coming down the mountain of Izopo at that time. Keep us all in your prayers.
