Sunday A Day For The Pig

Just another day in missions! During the Sunday service at Jicamarcas as Bethany and James were leading in worship some members noticed that David's pig was out of the pen and on the mountain.

Marco and Ryan ventured onto the mountain to catch the wayward pig. Pastor Hodges appeared and joined in the pursuit along with Chase. For the next 15 minutes they scurried upon the mountain to surround the pig, but to no avail. Marco got close enough to grab its legs. Pastor Hodges told them to rub the pig's belly to cause him to settle down, but the squealing continued as they carried him by the church on the way to his pen.

Now you will hear various versions of this depending on who you talk to, but believe me this was an exciting begining to the worship service.

When the service ended they spent 2-3 hours casting a demon out of one attendee. Victory on both sides. The pig was back and the demon was out!

It is Monday evening as I write this as it is being dictated to me by Ryan. We are in my favorite place and that of the whole team -- "Four Bucks!" We will soon be on our way to Jicamarca to pack, move the Hodges belongings downstairs and the leave about 12:00 for the airport.

Until we see you on Wednesday -- sometime -- that is if we get out of bed!

God bless and thanks for your prayers.
