Back from the River

We all made it back to Nauta in one piece, safe and sound!  Probably the majority of everyone’s stories will come from these past 6 days; we had quite the adventure along the river. Florida, the first village we visited was absolutely beautiful, except for the mosquitoes. The Pastor and the all the children welcomed us and taught us a wonderful Spanish song–something along the lines of flying like an eagle and jumping like a lamb.  I don’t know what it all translates out to but we had a great time singing it multiple times a day.  We spent most of the time playing...

One Last Travel Day

Buenos dias! We are currently finishing up our debrief time and heading to the airport in a few hours to fly to Lima and then back to the states. The last twenty four hours have been a sweet time of fellowship, reflection and of course, tons of fun!! Yesterday we took the students to a surprise trip to a nature preserve/zoo and saw all the animals we didn´t get to see in the wild, like pygmy monkeys, tapirs, capyburas, and my personal favorite, the ocelot. It was super fun! Then we enjoyed one last peruvian lunch, and headed to a traditional artisan market to pick up some last minute souvenirs...

4 Days into Ministry!

We are four days into ministry and having a blast! Yesterday was the first day of our kids program, and it was wonderful! From all the boys hanging on Adam to Robin teaching on the armor of God, it was a sight to behold. Thursday was Rachels birthday and she got to experience a real Peruvian birthday by having a raw egg cracked on her head, and we also had a delicious cake. This morning we were led to go visit a woman named Pati. She said she is very unhappy because she is treated poorly in her home by her childs father. She wants to move, but she cant until her son is finished with school....

Day 1 and Super Excited!

We finally made it Peru!! We arrived yesterday in Iquitos around 1230pm. The students were very tired after the long night of travel, but once we got on the bus to get to Nauta (which took about an hour and a half), their excitment could not be contained! Travis and I had a conversation with Crystal (our ministry contact)and this week we are doing house visits and childrens programs, and next thursday we are going down the river and ministering to 3 different villages!! I asked each of them what their favorite thing on the trip so far is and this is what they said… Rachel– “My...
