 Today Jhonn and the gang drove us quite a
way west along the coast to the town of Nizao. The countryside was
green and full of fruits, vegetables, and pasture land. Once in a
while, we would go through a small settlement. The morning distribution
at sabana Patenque went flawlessly. Lots of music from Jhonn and
Neftali, lots of smiles from los niņos, and smiles and tears from the team.

 As our afternoon distribution is nearby, the local pastor
invited us for lunch at the home of a local patron. Lots of stuff that
Bob and Collin never saw before. Oh well, we are brave and the food is
good. Afterwards, a few of us were roped into a pickup ball game with
three kids (oldest maybe 8 years). The ball was a wiffle ball and the
bat was an old 1"x1" board. Sadly, los niņos destroyed los gringos. We
even cheated!

 We left the ball game and headed for our second
distribution of the day. We are getting quite proficient at these now.
The 'box boys' get the boxes from Joselo and his team, unpack them, and
the team distributes them. It s amazing how happy everyone is; no
complaints, only smiles. When the distribution was completed, tyhe
local pastor would come by and talk to us. Language was sometimes an
issue but never the spirit.
