Day 3

Had plans for projects today, when Ed got word from the Indians that the 'Witch Doctor' was critically ill and needed to get to the hospital. Without help, the trip most likely would not have happened. It would be a major carrying trip, up the mountain, and then highly doubtful if there was any transportation for the trip to town. Ed has been preaching to the witch doctor for years, and felt this was an opportunity to witness, so Ed and I hiked up the mountain to start up the cable system. The family lives about half way up the mountain, so a group of men carried him down to the bottom, and then we used the cable system to haul a son and the witch doctor to the top.

This ended eating up most of the day....Joel (missionary from the Church in Guachochi - I will have more on that family later) hauled them to town with his vehicle! We were very tired when we got back down the mountain, as Ed and I took the long route home to look at the road being dozed down the mountain side.

Believe me...... the altitude 8500', and the route from the end of this part of the road.....back to the cabin was tiring!

                                             Might I say.....this was the end of the day!!!
