Those of you who read my blog regularly have heard me talk about the dump before, and read as I explained the desperate situation that these people live in. Well, Monday night David, Ashley, Mike, Jen and I made peanut butter sandwiches, and Tuesday morning we loaded up the suburban, grabbed some water, and headed for the dump. As you drive up the dirt road flies and the worst smell I've ever smelled invades the car. Piles of trash line the road and once you reach the top you see mounds of trash with people, both adults and children, cows, vultures, rats, and dogs digging through them in search of something to eat. Visiting the dump this time was a little different than the last because this time I was able to actually interact with the people. I was able to look into their eyes as we handed them a sandwich and bag of water that would likely be the only meal they ate that day. I was able to see the pain in their eyes and desperation on their face. I beg for you to pray for these people. We know that going to the dump and feeding them once a week or once a month won't solve the problem, so I ask that you pray as we search for a long term solution, and the best way to help them.
