Well we survived our 22 hour bus ride, to say the least. We arrived in Cusco (home of Machu Picchu) on Saturday and we are still trying to adjust to the altitude, so please pray about that it is not as easy as we thought it would be. We are now at 12,000 feet and soon we will be going to 15,000 feet.
Saturday the screen on my camera broke but it will still take pictures, so I can not complain. My greatest desire is for every bit of me to desire nothing but Jesus Christ. I think we all know when we desire Jesus so much we also have someone against us. Between our health and my camera screen breaking, sometimes all we want to do is just go home, but I know I do not belong at home this summer. Everyone of us come from a different setting and background. We all have burdens concerning things at home, but God called us here and we daily have to surrender to Him.
Yesterday we done some of our skits, puppets, and music in a plaza of a nearby village and 3 people accepted Christ. Today we went to a local school and done all of the same things and 2 or 3 kids accepted Christ. It is totally Christ that is working and not anything team is doing and there is not anything we could do on our own.
Today for just for some fun we got to do some hiking, which I love to do and we got to see some Andean runs. We went with a loal pastor who knew all of the history and it was amazing to see such a thing, it made that hike (that was all up hill) completely worth it.

Girl I am going to start claiming the promises that Jesus gives us in His Word. Nothing will be able to stand against you while doing His work...of that I'm certain.
ReplyDeleteI am so thankful for the souls that have already been changed in just a very short time. Everything you did to make it this far has already been worth it.
Drink as much water as possible!!! It WILL truly help with the whole altitude thing. (Believe me, I remember altitude sickness well!!)
I love you and miss you and can't wait to see you again!!
Blessings and be safe!!
Love you!

This is awesome to hear! We prayed for you yesterday in Bible Study. Can't wait to hear more exciting stories of how God is moving and working in Peru through the willing vessels He sent there, YOU and Your TEAM! Continue to record the decisions so that you can remember to pray for them and so that we can see the results! Of course, I know that God's Holy Spirit is working in many more lives drawing them unto Himself than are reflected in the numbers!
