The last couple days have been busy and a lot of fun. Friday, we went to the prison again and played soccer with the men after a very emotional prayer session. All these men were super happy to see us and welcomed us with open arms. The older men were all outside working with tools and crafting pictures and furniture out of wood while the younger men were inside just sitting around or making objects out of rolled newspaper. Then in the afternoon, half of our team went to a neighborhood in the second poorest district in Iquitos. As we walked down the muddy "street," we passed...

We have only been here for….so many days, I don´t even know and God has done so many things through us. As we do our best to bless others, he blesses us through them. Only they have so little and are so anxious to bless us, it is amazing. We went to the prison for the last time the other day, I connected with this lady and began to talk to her with what I could say, which wasnt much, but she didnt care, she was just glad to have a friend. It felt so good, despite the language barrier we talked, she was 34, has 2 girls, one was 2...

Hello again everyone! I love it here in Iquitos! I love listening to the rain, which is somehow alot louder here than at home. It puts a whole new meaning to the song lyric "It's the song of the forgiven, drowning out the amazon rain." There are so many stories I wish I could tell you, like when three of us girls got lost in Iquitos for a while and had to find our way back from memory, or riding on the back of a moped balancing groceries through the caos of these streets, or making my way through the market looking for a...

Last night I lay in bed after being resting in His presence and being fed by my team. I thought about how we´re becoming a culture of honor here in Peru and how God had been blessing both myself and the team through a quickening process of grace. I thought about Jesus and what His life looked like…and then a thought hit me. He chose to let His disciples pour into Him. Jesus, after 30 years of living, decided to reach the world through a group of disciples. There were more than 12 that accompanied Him and not all that were called became part of the 12. Likewise, there were...

Night before last our team got to go to el colegio (school) that is Christian based. The speaker did his thing and then requested someone give their testimony. I did! Up till this point I have been sitting back and well i am not sure why. This time felt right. I stumbled and got tongue twisted but I pray that my inspiration of acceptance and that it is I who creates who I am and who I will be, touched someones heart. No matter anyones judgement or assesments. Our past does not make our desisions for our future or the choices we make, that create who we are or who we can be!! ...

This has been one crazy journy so far and it has only been the beginning. Our first day of camp was amazing and my team became such a family so fast. The girls are so encouraging and amazing helpers in keeping my eyes on Jesus and not missing the people I love back at home and the guys are encouraging in their love for God and being protectors of us girls in Peru-Amazon. It is a beautiful thing to see. :). One thing thst I keep coming back to is the freedom I have in Christ. During training camp one of the speakers talked about being caught up in prisons and that all we have to do is let...
