Who are the people in your neighborhood?

Today we would like to introduce you to Eli and Ana. They live in our little village of Caraquena. They are both in the sixties and are very sweet people. Eli and Ana are both faithful Christians. It seems like every time I visit they want to sing the song "El Amor de Dios es Maravilloso" which means the love of God is marvelous! Just the other night Rich and I were walking through the neighborhood and heard them inside their house singing a hymn. 

Eli and Ana have two daughters that live at home because they are not able to live on their own. They take very good care of their family. I never hear them complain about anything and they rarely ask for help.

We decide to drill our first well next to their house for multiple reasons but one is that it would just be so much easier on them to not have to haul water from the river. Every time Rich was drilling they would sit outside and watch, encouraging him and thanking him for helping them with this well. And usually they have a cold glass of fresh squeezed orange juice.

We are so thankful to have such wonderful neighbors and faithful Christians in our little community!
