Emphasis Preaching Journal

Two American college seniors, Dave Boyer and Crystal Ramsey, were hiking in the rain forest of Brazil not far from the Amazon Youth Hostel at the headwaters of the Rio Camerao Grande River. Prepared for an afternoon hike along a trail marked by white arrows, they soon found that they were lost. They had thought they would come to a river, but realized they had mistaken the word for standing water, and had already waded through a great deal of that. They made it through the night, but were bitten viciously by clouds of red mosquitoes.
