It’s Saturday moning and bus that usually takes missionaries
to the small villages in the rural area near Remedios is not running
today. Something having to do with
appropriate permits. I know that many people at the small rural towns will be wondering where the missionaries are.
But three of the towns will not have to wonder because we rented a 7-passenger van, fitted 12 and off we went to their town. On the way to Siboney, the farthest
village we dropped off missionaries at Centeno and another rural town near
Yaguajay.
Today the program focused on children, so the missionaries were three young women from Remedios’ church and their helpers. I admire their energy. They learn to use the resources at
hand. Sometimes there’s a field to
play soccer, others a fun creek, or just simple games in a backyard. 
When we dropped them off,
they walked several kilometers inviting the children; reminding them about the
meeting. We met with them again at
the house where they hold their meetings. We could tell they are learning about
God and it’s making a difference in their lives.
There were to 45 children today. Certainly worth the effort—even if it had been only for 1.
