We live in a village without a post office, newspaper, or computers in the homes. We do have a radio stations that comes in, but it plays the same station on every channel. What amazes us about this town though, is how quickly news seems to travel. We knew that being the only Americans living in Mizque would cause a great deal of discussion. What wasn’t expected was just how quickly every action we do seems to get around.
There is a lady in Mizque we have run into several times. On one of these occasions she was carrying a watermelon. Kevin offered to help carry her watermelon to her home which at the time he really didn’t think anything of. The next day, we were visited by the landlord who told us she had heard Kevin had carried a watermelon for a lady. When we seemed shocked that she knew, she kindly told us that the entire town knew Kevin carried that watermelon. She went on to say that “everything you do, good or bad, the whole town will know by tomorrow.” This is a blessing as long as we are living as Christ did and would. We are thankful for the fishbowl we live in since it will provide experiences for people to trust us, doors to be opened and so we can share the light that Christ has given us.
