I talked to Abe again today and he sounded MUCH better. Turns out he seemed to have some food poisoning yesterday, and even though it wasn't severe at all, it explains why he was feeling so lousy. Today he had had a full day, preaching in the morning, spending all afternoon with a couple who wanted to help him with his bike tire, speaking to the youth in the late afternoon giving his testimony, and talking to marrieds over shish kabobs (good protein!!!). He did not do this kind of thing on his other trips, but even though he had to give out I think he found it spiritually refreshing.
The couple who helped him with the bike had showed up at the church in the morning--even though they didn't belong to that church. They both are sports enthusiasts and were keen to help him get his tire problems sorted out, which took several hours because he has very large tires, and evidently that isn't popular there. The man said when he woke up in the morning he just felt like they should go to this church instead of their own :)
Abe also said he is grateful for all the blessings (and I'm sure he will be full of stories to tell when he returns), even the little ones that a person usually overlooks, like having the wind to your back.
He cannot get registered tomorrow as that office is not open, so will have to wait till Tues, but if they don't get it done in the morning he will have to go on anyway and sort out how to get his documents afterwards. He just needs the biking time. So we are praying that they will do the documents first thing so that he doesn't run into complications.
