A Sunday in Paute

This Sunday Kim and I went to Paute for much of the day.  Over my time here, I've gotten to know Gonzalo, who pastors a small church in Paute and he had invited me to come and preach.  It's a group of about 25 people who meet together, but it was encouraging to see their hunger and the men attending.  I preached on truth, lies and the battle of the mind.  (2Cor 10:1-6)
 
After the service, we ate lunch with Gonzalo's precious family... another cultural experience for Kim.  The menu was "mixto con guata".  In other words, rice, beef, and cow stomach stew.  If you can get your mind over the chewy parts being stomach, it's all very tasty.  I forget about how many cultural differences there are down here until a foreigner comes.  Kim does very well.
 
After lunch we went walked around town and then drove home with the family.  They are such a precious (short) family, and the kids are so cute.  I really enjoyed our time together.  Keep Gonzalo's ministry in prayer.

Some of the locations look familiar--the dry fountain and the tower you two famously climbed...
