4 Angels appeared from under the bridge

On Saturday, we went with some friends high in the rainforest/mountains to visit 5 waterfalls and a bird/butterfly santuary. We had a fun trip with them there, and took our time going through the santuary. We saw many different kinds of animals and birds that are regional here like Toucans, parrots, hummingbirds, monkeys and butterflies (there were snakes too, but I didn't go look at them, yuk!). Then we hiked down a long trail, and many, many, many steps...and went to 5 different waterfalls! They were incredible....

While we were hiking, we got the entire experience of being in the rainforest, as the rain began to fall, but it just made it more beautiful! How can anyone go to an area as beautiful as that, and see those birds with beaks and feathers that blend into the forest, and not see that God created it all, with a stroke of his hand!?!

Well, the adventure continues...when we left there, we were going up and down the mountains (we were at over 4,000 ft) and the clutch went out while we were crossing a bridge. While we were pushing the vehicle off of the road, we began to pray. (It is dangerous to be out on the roads, esp. being gringos...we could've been robbed or who knows?). Well, God answers prayer! Up from under the bridge came 4 guys (we called them angels), who had been swimming, and all 4 were mecanics! They offered to hook us up to their 4x4 SUV and pulled us all the way back to the city, and to their shop, where they will work on it this week. It was a 5-6 hour trip back...being pulled up and down the steep mountains. What a blessing they were! Then they got a van and drove us another hour to our apartments. God sent us 4 angels!!
