Death at Naichap

Last night we got a call from Carlos at Naichap where we go for the bible study twice a week and he was very emotional and upset. Rocky could not understand what all he was saying except that someone died. Rocky told Carlos that he would get Russ to call him and see what happened so rocky called Russ in Quito and got Russ to call Carlos. Russ then called us back and said that Carlos brother was killed in an accident while working yesterday. So we planned on going over there this morning and stopping by Manchanatza on the way to let the church there know. So I thought about what to take. I made banana bread in the dark by candle light  and are glad that we have a gas stove. This morning we got up and got ready. Russ called and said that he felt the need to come down so he was driving and did not know if he would make it tonight or would stop along the way. He is planning to stay for a few days and go to bible study with us and up the river also where Corey will be living. Russ called and will not be here till morning. Rocky and I arrived at Manchanatza at about 10:15 and we got a boat taxi to come and take us across the river and when we got there it was a town meeting going on so Pastor Felipe took us up to the store where there is a table with a couple of chairs and said he would be ready at 11:15. we actually left at about 12:30. In the meantime Rocky and I had a grand time with all of the little children. Wished we had the camera. When we all got into the boat I counted and there were 25 people with Rocky and I. I could see a taxi pickup already waiting but when we got to the other side there was another taxi. we had 5 adults and 4 children with us and off we went to Naichap. We were glad to have Pastor Felipe with us. When we got there Pastor said that 2 hours we would leave so that was good that was decided. We sit and visited with Fiorela carlos' wife for awhile and then Carlos came and pastor and another man shared with him and tried to encourage Carlos. At 3:00 we loaded up and headed back to Manchantza but when we got to El Pangue which is where we turn to go to M. all of our passengers got off. we were not to sad that we did not have to drive on that jungle road.
 We stopped in Yantzantza and ordered a sofa ,chair, and loveseat. Then we stopped for Rocky to buy 4 boards to build shelves with. We got home about 5:30. I had a bathroom that I had not cleaned so after heating leftovers I began cleaning it. The shower had had some bats living in it so it was a mess but it is shiney clean now so Russ and Johnaton can use it while they are staying with us. Johnaton is a Journey. Weekend tales later. Good night.
