A Day Never Forgotten

Cody decided to take 4 teenage Muslim boys out fishing on the boat. They live in a fishing village, yet had never been on a boat. Needless to say, they had quite an adventure. Three of the four boys were sick the entire time and did a lot of chumming. They ended up enjoying their time still, and brought back an ice chest full of fish. The neighbor boys were stoked on it too- we threw all the boys in the photo. 

Cody split the fish between the four boys and they were so stoked to take it home to their families. Cody went to visit one of the families the next day, and the mom kept saying "michum nundri, michum nundri" which means thank you very much. She had her small baby in her arms, and explained to Cody that her milk had been gone and the baby was no longer breastfeeding, but after eating so much fish, her milk had come back and the baby was nursing again. We had been aware of the baby being sick and just a few days before had given them enough money to take the baby to the hospital and get medicines, and we knew that the baby wasn't eating; but how rad is it that Cody just wanted to bless the boys by taking them fishing and God used it to start nursing that baby back to help!
