We started the movie a bit earlier in Nura fearing the 'more treachorous' trip back to Hotel Paradise.

These are the only 2 pictures we have of the crowds watching the movie - it usually was far to dark in the Congress Halls to take pictures.

There were 250-300 people that watched the movie and about 110 people responded to the opportunity to become followers of Jesus.

Something unique occured after the movie. I was talking with the chief of the village - acknowledging his wisdom and love for his people - when he told me that they would be talking about this movie - my message - and our coming in thier Congress meetings for many days.

These Kuna Indians have no written record. The way they pass their history from one generation to another is when they meet in Congress and the Chiefs lay in the hammocks, adjudicate matters, discuss issues and tell stories. Now - our coming - the movies - and the message would become part of Congress Meetings in the future. We had become part of their Oral Tradition. Pretty amazing.
