We really enjoyed today working at the prison! The guards were very courteous, and the prisoners also. Some of them badly needed medical help, and we were able to be of service.

Our team is wonderful! Everyone finds their niche and goes to work.

Even I found something to do. I found a box of glasses that Melvin had made up earlier and set them up like a Walmart rack so the older prisoners could try them and find ones that worked. An estimated 30 pairs were distributed.
Marcos, Jorge, and the institute students handed out literature and about 25 New Testaments. Marcos spent time with several of the prisoners teaching Bible lessons. The door is now open for them to come back and conduct Bible studies.
After we finished the clinic, we toured the prison and saw the living conditions.

Tonight we went to worship with the La Antigua congregation. They are a wonderful, loving bunch of people. Jesus from San Ignatio was there and it was good to see him.

We are now preparing for a trip tomorrow into the mountains to work with several small villages where medical help is not available.

Kristi Burns was sick today and missed work. She is better tonight. God sent Isi to take her place. Isi is from South Carolina and was here visiting her family. She is an excellent translator and was wonderful help. We look forward to working with her in June as she plans to be here then.

Continue to pray for us. Ralph
