Hi friends in Jesus I am Fr Rafi, again from Ecuador. I know it is long time that I could write to you. I really wanted to send mails to Joynet. But unfortunately could not. Yet I was experiencing your prayer-help during the mission trips. Now , as you might have known from the media, it is really raining cats and dogs here in South America. Many people died and many are suffering. I request your prayers for my poor people here in Ecuador. I had to come back from the missions as all the rivers are over flowing and so travelling is almost impossible now. Even the animals cannot walk. Yesterday I took the risk of going to a village inside the jungle. It was raining very heavily. My jeep refused to move on the mud, and I was alone. I locked the vehicle and walked a little. Then I saw a house far away. I went there to see whether I could get any help. Thanks to Jesus!! It was a catholic family and they received me. I told them what happened and about my destination. They had a donkey and with all the good will, they offered it to me and their child told me that he would accompany me. See the providence of God!! Though it was still raining we started our journey. And after a couple of hours we reached our destination. I celebrated Holy Mass there and came back on the same donkey. And some how managed to come back home. I cancelled the mission trips and will be here until the rain stops, enjoying this “special vacation”. Last week a malayali sister sent us some “mulaku podi (chilly powder) and Curry Masala. So we are going to cook some “meen curry”(fish) in Indian Style. All are invited!!! Fr.Rafi Ecuador
