Bella Vista Part 2

During our time in Bella Vista many friendships were made. The team also got to see some of the animals living in the area. There was lots of hunting going on at night and many were caught for the next day's pot. One man brought a small jaguar for everyone to hold which was quite the experience for all.

There were many things that happened during the week that will leave lasting impressions. One was a small girl that was carried in by her parents with burns on her feet. The team treated her feet and gave her antibiotics to help fight off any possible infection. The other thing that will be in my mind was the baptism. Bella Vista is nowhere near a river but they did have a small pond. After church on Sunday, the whole congregation went down to this pond and 9 people were baptized by Oscar Pua (president) and Jesus Pua (missionary). It was exciting to see these people take this step of faith and be able to rejoice together.
