We thought you may be wondering whatever happened to the well that Ricardo was digging. Just to remind for everyone, he had a vision from God about where he would find water on his land, so he began digging.Well 11 months later his sons and him are still digging with a chisel. They are currently at 80 feet, but have found some water. They are getting 4-5 gallon buckets of water a day. For some of you it may seem like God has not been faithful because that is not enough water. Ricardo believes God will help them discover the larger vein of water that he saw in his vision.
Have you ever wondered, how do the men get in and out of the well to dig? It is not an easy task. They are lowered down by a rope with a pulley (it looks somewhat like repelling) and then work for half the day until lunch is brought from their mother or wife. They then return chiseling away at rock for the afternoon. When it is time to get out the rope the person ties the rope around his waist as a harness and then the person is pulled up. Here is what it looks like:

I have met Ricardo and I am so excited about his faith. If God gave him a vision and he continues to bring it about, there will be much praise and glory when this happens.
I am praying and believing in the God who spoke to Ricardo. I can't wait to hear what happens to the community when the water starts gushing in!!!
Yeah God!!
