Carlitos!

Hey Everyone! So I don´t exactly have a particular story that I want to share. I more just wanted to tell you about this boy I met in the village of Sapuena! His name is Carlitos. He´s 11 years old. And he´s probably just about the cutest kid you will ever meet. He is super shy and doesn´t ever really talk a whole lot. His favorite sport to play is fútbol (soccer) and he´s really good at it. His favorite colors are red and green. He has a little brother, Abel (also really cute), who he took just about everywhere with him. He always made sure that he knew exactly where Abel was. This...

Life in the Amazon

This trip has had no shortage of adventure. Everyday there´s a new experience; from catching sloths, machette-shopping our way through the thick amazonian brush, encounters with an oscelot (jungle cat), catching an iguana while swimming in the river, playing with monkeys, getting bitten by crocediles (cool scar, but no worries mom I´m totally fine), braving the local food, paddling a log to the middle of the Ucayali River, or fishing for pirhana. Life here is an adventure… But that´s not why I´m here.   Cool adventures and stories are neither the reason I got on the plane nor...

Fish and Bracelets

     Our time in the jungle has flown by! We have experienced the Lord in countless ways, drawing closer to Him, one another, and the people in Peru. One thing that God has amazed me with is the love and hearts of the women in the villages. In several villages I have met women who poured love out to me, when I felt like I didnt even do much to gain their love. So often I would want to minister to women and build relationships with them, feel like I hadnt done anything, and then be blessed with women who come to me in love.      One example of this was...

Wrecked For God

Hey everyone! This trip has been so mind-blowing and incredible! God has completely wrecked me and stretched me in ways that i didnt even know was possible. I will try to keep this short so I will only tell you about the most recent and most impacting thing for me this trip. We were in the village of Castilla from the 17th through the 19th of July. On the 17th, we heard about a boy who needed medical attention and gave money for him to go to Iquitos. The next day we recieved word that he had died. His name was Urelo, he was 16 years old, and he died at 1AM on the 18th. He had had his...

The Joy of the Lord is My Strength

This is now my new life verse. I cant recall how long I have been attacked by lies, but I can honestly say I HAVE BEEN SET FREE! I AM FREE BY THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB and there is nothing that can stand in the way of me getting to my Savior. I truly believe this now and know of Gods faithfulness when He says He has more for my life. Im sure you all want to hear the story of how this came to happen, so heres just a little bit of it. Throughout the trip, I have battling lies of worth and acceptance, but when we hit Florida and Nueva York at the end of June or beginning of July, God was speaking...
