Today we visited a Native American family. In this family are 3 children and a mother who is a widow. To provide food for her family the mother washes cloths for people in her area. Lately, because many more people are buying washers for their homes, she is pretty much out of a job. To continue to provide for her family the mother has been cutting neighbor's lawns. {This job also makes it hard because cutting lawns is not something that most Ecuadorian families do...they are definitely not like Americans when it comes to the upkeep of their lawns.} We saw from these circumstances that this family was very much in need of food. We shared the food and explained why we had come. The pastor shared about the love of God with the family and we all prayed together. Because the mother's native language is Quechua we are not sure how much she understood because she did not understand Spanish very well...but one thing is for sure...God was present in that home...and if God wants to speak and make Himself known...then language is never an issue.
