Now THAT'S hard work!

Jobs are limited here in Armenia.  Many people are out of work.  But that does not stop some from working! 
Luz, a friend from one of our Bible studies has a food stand where she sells meat empanadas (turnovers) and arepas (Colombian flat bread).  Her job is not easy but she is continually thanking God for the work He has given her.

Luz, her mother and a friend at her old stand.  She has a new and improved location and grill!

• Luz and her elderly mother climb steep dirt roads (that I find challenging) each morning and to get to the main road.
• Along the way they pick up a small grill similar to a BBQ grill.
• One carries a bag of supplies, empanadas, arepas and coffee while the other carries the grill across the main road and a block down the street.
• There they begin setting things up about 6:30am to begin their 2 hour morning shift.
• At 4:00 pm they repeat the process for the 3 hour afternoon shift.
• You can always hear Luz thanking God for helping her in her business.

Yesterday, with great excitement she shared with us what a great day she had on Monday!  Sales were up!  She ended the day making $18,000 Colombian pesos.  Sound like a lot?  That would be $10 USD!

As we go in to teach them the Bible, they teach us so much as well!
