HALFWAY.

Well, we are now halfway through our summer missions in Peru. We have spent yesterday and today doing some debriefing and talking about things we are going to do different our second half of the summer. One thing we are hopefully going to do some more rest time, PRAISE THE LORD!!! We are going to seven villages this half but I know it is going to go well.

Our time in Nazca has been amazing. It was good to see everyone again, eat some American food , and have a toilet seat which we have not had in a while. We leave Nazca tomorrow and we are out in the villages for a month. Hopefully, tomorrow we are going sand boarding. We think how many times will we get to go sand boarding in Peru? Sometimes we feel kind of guilty for doing some fun things or even just resting sometimes, because we came to Peru just to be missionaries not to be some tourist.

Then after we go sand boarding, tomorrow afternoon we will be on an 8 hour bus ride to Carabelli. Carabelli is one of the bigger villages we will be in, and Valleydale Baptist Church in Hoover, AL adopted this village to disciple believers and get a house church going. So the team in this village is 5 college students from the Birmingham area. There are more people here from Alabama than any other state, out of 120 students about 16 of us are from AL. It wa so amazing to sit down at lunch yesterday and have a conversation about Alabama football. If there is anything I miss most it is my moma, Chick-fil-A, and my Alabama football.
