One of the highlights of the trip was being reminded that His timing is impeccable! On Sunday, we stopped at Armando’s casa to deliver 500 pesos ($50) from their hammock that was sold last week in Playa (thanks to Melanie from Germany). His wife’s countenance changed in an instant. She had been trying to sell nuts and candies to help with the kid’s expenses, since her husband had the motorcycle accident 6 months ago. (Since then, he has been free from alcohol, praise God!) He has not been able to work; therefore, saving money for the hospital visits has been impossible. He now has the money to be able to travel to Merida City for several screws to be removed from his ankle, on Wednesday (3 days later). It costs 250 pesos round trip, so he even has enough for the next appointment. After all of the screws are removed, he will be able to bend his ankle and walk much better. God is so, so good!
Armando’s brother, Willy, has been going to AA for 9 months, and is set free from alcohol, also. He has kept himself busy with reading the Bible, exercising and taking English classes. I gave him an art frame, to remind him that Dani has promised to come from Playa to give him free art classes as a reward. Willy is looking forward to this 1 year celebration, in August.
