Jessica and Mike are now headed to Askipara, where they will use their pack daily and lose the luxury on electricity. From all the text messages we have been receiving they are truly having a memorable experience. She said that at every village they have visited they have experienced nothing but overwhelming gratitude and generosity. Their main food supply has been rice and eel, but yesterday Jessica actually saw the "eel" and she described it as more of a large worm/snake creature than anything. I think it may have ruined her appetite a bit.
In one of the villages they visited, they came in contact with a girl that was believed to be possessed by demons. Once they began praying she started to go crazy and as soon as they prayed for a few minutes she was at peace. God certainly was at work with them for that girl.
They have been overwhelmed by the heat and sweat. I think Jessica has began to develop a heat rash that will unfortunately not subside until she is away from the heat. They have encountered a few large spiders and an elephant, that we know of. Please continue to pray God will be at work as they travel.
