We spend well over an hour talking together about the good old days, when the mission had an airplane, and we used to get together monthly, with the pastors from all over the Xingu Region. Since then we have grown and things have changed, but it is satisfying to remember how far the Lord has brought us, and the good times along the way.

Later, at the dock, I met Gerson, one of the the first pastors from the region. Gerson had fallen way from the Lord for many year, about ten, but just a few weeks ago Richie told me he had come to the church and got right with God.
