Abudancia continued...

The water in Abundancia is so salty that it isn't drinkable.  The church as also installed a water filter system that catches all the rain water which runs into a huge tank under the church.  It's is then filtered and piped through the community.  All the drinking water is obtained through this method or it must be purchased.  In this photo you can see how the salty water has eaten away the bottom of the metal door that leads to the pump system.

This Nivacle man stands in front of a picture of the day that 200 where baptized in Mistolar.  He was a part of this picture and was baptized that day. Mistolar is about 6-7 more hours from this area and we haven't been there yet because we don't have enough daylight right now to travel to that area.  For those of you who know us well traveling during the night asnever been a problem for us but here the roads are way to dangerous. 

This is a Nivacle group that we attended church with in an area 45 minutes from Abundancis,  they live in Filidelfia  They have chosen to leave Abudancia and work for themselves rather than rely on the church. 

There is another group
