We are on the bus right now, going to Ica. This is our last stop of
the trip before we head back to the great Estados Unidos. There is
another street boy home in Ica and I can not wait to see and interact
with my brothers in christ. This trip has been amazing. With each
person I "talk" to (more like sign to), God reveals himself more and
more to me and I fall even deeper in love with Him. It's weird though,
because I came here to give and have recieved so much more! Through
these street boys, God is showing me how to live a life of love. They
have nothing and have had a terrible past, yet their faith is so much
stronger than my own.
Peru is so different from America. Everyone is so nice and loving and
you can literaly walk down the street and have a conversation with
everyone and anyone you see. Everyone down here actually wants to know
how you are doing and they are so sincere. It will definitely be hard
to go back to America where most people, unfortunately, only care
about themselves. I'm pretty sure you cannot walk down the streets of
NYC and have a conversation with the people you see...
I would like to give a shout out to my mom! Don't worry big mama I'm
taking care of Dad. I'm keeping him in line! I took my first warm
shower this morning! Even though it took me half an hour to shower
because the water pressure was a little trickle, it was still amazing!
Funny how we over look all the luxuries we have huh? Oh, and we
haven't gotten to eat the guinea pig yet. But I told Dad that if he
will kill it then I will eat it. :). Maybe.
I love all you guys that I have left at home (you know who you
are) :) and I just wanted to say thanks for all the thoughts and
prayers. I am a very lucky girl to be able to travel to South America
and spread the word of our Lord like He commands us to. This has truly
been a life changing experience, no matter how cliche it sounds. God
is doing great things in Peru! See you guys soon,
