Today we saw something that we had heard about, and that was the "fishing" that sometimes goes on in the... well, ditch, quite large ditch, with a strong current, outside our house.
First we noticed a guy pulling some wires around at the side of the road
So, after parking the car, I went back out there to have a look. I asked if i could take some pictures, and the guys had no problems with that.
The wires the one guy had been pulling around were attached to this little generator... do you see where this is going?
Yes, exactly, they had a metal rod they were sticking down into the water, basically zapping the fish so they would float to the surface.
And when that happened, the other guy would catch them with a little net.
Unusual, but effective. I didn't actually see any of the fish they caught, because I had to get ready to go to a dinner we had been invited to.
We had been invited to this couples house.
This is a family from a village far into the mountains that had the gospel shared to them by people from our organization many, many years ago. They now have a thriving church and have sent out many missionaries of their own. This couple have moved into town to have better access to the material and help they need to do translation work that helps the outreach program going on.
It is so cool to see these guys serving the Lord, and it is an honor to be able to call them our co-workers, and we hope, Lord willing, to someday be able to help them in their work, we just need to get this language study done. Now how is that for motivation to get cracking on new vocabulary?
