We had another wonderful breakfast – scrambled eggs, refried beans, slices of cheddar cheese, and toast. Bev has been eaten alive by flying sand fleas. From our last visit she thought if she was in the water the sand fleas couldn’t get to her. She was wrong – so now she is miserable. Both of us caught a parrot fish. Of course John wants to use them for bait. John kept them in a wire basket under the pier. Bev also caught an angelfish, one of those black and yellow – beautiful aquarium fish. You are not supposed to catch them I guess. Oops! We had a good day – we had conch for dinner. It was Bev’s first time, John ate it last time we were here – chewy yet satisfying. Tonight while John was out fishing, around 6:30 pm, it had just gotten dark. The sky was clear with beautiful stars. The wind was coming from the east to the west – a very stiff wind. When out of the west came a very large dark cloud that was square shaped, the only cloud in the sky. It came out of a crystal clear sky against a very stiff wind. It appeared to be moving towards him and there was something weird about the cloud. As the cloud got closer the more John just knew something wasn’t right and at that point he felt it was something spiritual from the enemy. He felt very uneasy. John started praying against the enemy. He prayed for protection and God’s power. As he prayed the cloud stopped moving and after about 10 minutes it began to dissipate. After another 20 minutes it was almost completely gone. As John continued to fish, about 9 pm there was a big splash at the boat dock. It startled John as he thought that one of the dogs fell in or perhaps some person had walked up in the dark and fell in. There was a lot of thrashing going on in the water. He went over with his flashlight to see what or who had fallen in. He saw water splashed up on the dock everywhere. After realizing there was no dog or person, he saw that the wire fish basket containing a parrot fish was gone. A barracuda had attached the fish basket and ripped it off the boat dock. Then about 9:30 pm John looks out in the water about 15 feet and could see the outline or shadow of a fish about 6 feet long. He then flashed his flashlight on it but couldn’t see it. When the light was off he could see it again. The fish turned back and now is only about 8 feet from the dock. Again, John turned on his flashlight and he could not see it. The fish then swam out in to the darkness. Between the cloud, sand fleas, and barracuda we knew the spiritual battle had begun. Bev had gotten eaten by sand fleas – spiritually we feel that if you don’t have the right protection (in this case baby oil gel and bug spray) the enemy will eat you alive. Bev thought she was safe in the water, but what she didn’t know is that they can fly. She didn’t know everything she needed to know about the enemy before she got out there. John felt like the dark cloud was the enemy trying to intimidate us and letting us know that it was aware of our presents in Honduras.
