A little rough for one of the students

We sure had a scare this afternoon here. Trish, Juliana and I got out of our motel to just walk around a little. We were feeling much better. Saw neat sights. We stopped for $1 fresh smoothies at the stand you see in the picture. As we stood waiting, Juliana said she felt like she might faint. I held her arm. Trish told her to keep her eyes open but she wasn't. She started wobbling, so we grabbed her & laid her to the ground. Her eyes rolled back and she was out cold.

The guy making her smoothie ran around his stand & put Juliana's head in his lap & started massaging her temples. Many ladies ran to help by icing her whole body down, massaging her & putting a fragrance oil on her temples, chest & to her nose.


A tourist with an accent came by & picked up Juliana's feet to elevate them. A lady brought a stool for Juliana's feet & started massaging her feet! Trish told me to pray. Not sure if she meant out loud, but I did! I prayed for God to help Juliana. (Not sure what all those people thought of that, but I pray it makes a difference in their lives). Juliana started waking up again & we got her to drink the mango smoothie.

I tried giving the people $20 to thank them for helping us. They refused to take my money!

We rode a little tuktuk back to the motel. It was absolutely amazing how people aided us so quickly! God is so good!

Please continue prayers for healing for both Juliana & I. Neither one of us felt too well when we got back into our motel.
