Bible Study in Village

We arrived about 25 min. early and the house where we have the study was dark and quiet. The little children began to come around and greet us. But no parents in sight. After a few min. here comes a lady out of a trail with a hugh load on her back with a strap across her forehead and carrying a machete. She look worn out from working and carrying the load. It was the lady of the house and following close behind was her husband with his own load. They had been harvesting yuca which is a staple for the Shuar. Yuca is a root and to me it has no taste and is very starchy.  They came through the porch and greeted everyone and went to clean up. They came right out and sat down and we had bible study. I kept thinking that the kids were hungry but they did not say a word. There is 6 children from 15 years old to 2 years old , 5 boys and Jessica who is 9. The children got their bibles and sat on a bench and they looked up every scripture and follow along and sometimes they stand up and read the scripture. Mike and Pat showed us to take a bag of rolls with us and last night that bag of rolls were this family's supper with a glass of soda and they always serve all of the guest before they get a roll and drink. After they had eat that one roll they were satisfied and began to fall asleep from the youngest.
