MARCH 19, 2010 UPDATEHello Everyone, Well it is almost 6 in the AM as I write this. Things are coming together as we work here in Pucallpa in preparation for the work on Lake Tipishca. Today we will build the latrine kits. Bobby has greatly improved the design so that it is much quicker to build. It also has a door on it now. Bobby has also gotten the cost down somewhat. He bought half of the buckets we use for the filters and will buy the rest today. In preparation for the cooking for the large gathering at the lake, Laly has bought some large pots along with assorted accessories. ... about $400.00 in cost. The costs on this trip are enormous. We will have 16 Americans and a crew of about the same amount to feed for 20 days. That will cost about 6K. It will cost about 3K for the food, etc for the camp meeting the last 3 days on the Lake. The cost of the boat is 12K and on & on. With God's help we will do it. The work on the Evangelista (boat) continues. Various improvements are being made in order to make the boat more livable. For the first time I will have a private room for meetings and to keep my equipment from being stolen. I carry several thousand dollars worth of cameras, computers, etc., with me on these trips. I need a secure place to leave it. I will be the only one with a key. Please continue to pray for us. More later. May God bless you as we labor for Him who called us to this marvelous light. Bro. Joe
