So much has happened it is hard to know what to tell you but they have such wonderful experiences. I just had some great wonton soup with my team. We shared the gospel at length couple- it was amazing to seem them full of questions. We taught in 2 classrooms, 4th 6th grades, teaching bible stories, english and giving them origami boats to match the story of jesus calms the storm. We also met with town officials about helping with the foot race the starts and finishes from this town. They want us to do our skit at the closing ceremony on a real stage and with a sound system. We rode by rickshaw motorcycle taxi to a nearby neighborhood where we taught in other schools. Other teams have been preparing to paint a mural in the kids’ park which the teens have designed. Several have helped make bread at the bakery. Our translators are wonderful we see the hand of god giving us words to say. My love to my dear Biju, Eden, Katie, Ben.
This is so awesome to read, God is showing up in big ways it seems. Prayers continue to be with you and we look forward to your return and the stories that will come with you. Take care and thanks so much for your leadership.

Oh, Lena,
I am so excited that you all see God moving in your midst. I am thanking Him with you for all that He is doing and for lives that are being transformed. Not only the lives in Peru but in your team as well.
And, I am thankful that you are having fun!
I am excited to have Eden and Ben tomorrow (Friday). We are planning a quiet morning here and then to the Johnson’s after lunch. I think that the kids will enjoy it.
I miss you and can’t wait to hear your fabulous stories of God’s presence on your trip. I will drink a cup of coffee for you while at Debbie’s. ^_^
So much love, Linda
Such a great thing to hear Lena! I have had much prayer for you and the group these last few days. Nothing like missions! Love you guys!
Hi Lena,
What an awesome thing to see the power of God played out before your eyes. We only need to open our eyes and hearts to the miracles of God around us. You all are having an experience you probably will never quite be able to explain to us but we have certainly shared in your excitement as you have shared. Thank you for sharing. We feel more part of what is going on down there; to have it painted on a computer page very soon before or after an event. We follow you day by day and bath you in prayer. God bless you! May He continue to use you to draw others to Himself. May He continue to draw each of you closer to Him and each other.
Blessings,
Rick & Jeanne Ware
