Shaun and Melanie Humphreys Just another weblog 
As I looked out the window of the truck, I wondered why the Nivacle man was waving us to stop. Did he want a ride into town? Did he want to ask us for something? Much to my surprise, it wasn’t what I expected…
It had been a hot, muggy day. We had just brought friends into the tribe to show them where our future work with the Nivacle was going to be, and to check on the progress of the remodeling of our house. It had been a 3 hour drive into the tribe, and we had spent a couple of hours wandering around, visiting with some Nivacle people, and checking out the construction. I was hot, sweaty, and tired. So was everyone else. I was enjoying the air conditioning in the truck as we drove out of the village. Until someone waved us down. As I watched from the truck, I could see Shaun talking to the Nivacle man while they wandered around his yard, appearing to look for something. As Shaun came back, I could see two watermelon in his arms. They were a gift from a tribal man who had so much less than us. I felt humbled by this man’s generosity. We look forward to the day when we can offer this man the greatest gift of all ~ the opportunity to know Jesus as his personal Savior! Please pray that we might be able to finish the work on the house soon, and get moved out into the tribe to begin learning their culture and language. Thank you!
