en las montanas!!!! this trip so far has been amazing. The sand dunning first off was amazing. Ill admit i was a little hesitant to do it, it seemed like to much for me, but once i did it i loved the feeling. you almost feel like your flying. our driver Jesus (thats his name) took great care of us and made sure we had the time of our lives.

we also did sand boarding, which, ill admit, was scary and exciting. If your thinkin about doing it, DO IT. once done you will feel so accomplished and proud. Our whole senior class did it and loved every minute of it.

We stayed the night one night at a street boys home in Lima. The boys there were so caring and Loved to show off. half of our kids played soccer and basket ball with them while the other half talked to them and shared stories. the relationships built in that short time with them i will never forget. there life stories are so encouraging and are truly a testiment that you can do anything with trust in God.

Right now i am typing this while we are on the way to the home in Kusi. we are in a "charter bus" taking winding turns in the montanas....it is interesting. our driver deffinitly knows what he is doing. the sight is amazing ( i took tons of picturess). i am so excited to talk to the boys at this home and hear there stories and all about how god has brought them to were they are now.

I thought that this trip was just going to be something i did to start my summer, but now i realize i could change someones life. not only that my eyes have been open to how much i take forgranted and how i should be thankfull to everything i have, My dad is here with me and i am so glad he came. this trip has also given us a chance for our relationship to grow. i am so thankful i did this and i wouldnt trade ANYTHING on this trip for the world.....hope to write sooon
in god we trust.... -allie walker-
