Our theme for today was "I am Second", and putting the lives of these people before ours has enriched our lives beyond measure. It's amazing how God had released His Holy Spirit before we arrived here. We have been praying for faceless people for months, but now, after working with them for only two days, we are immersed in their lives. We have spent two days sharing the Gospel, playing football(soccer), volleyball, and duck-duck-goose with the children, answering tough questions in home groups, praying for and counseling with new believers, sharing wonderful Peruvian meals around the table with laughter and deep conversations. All these experiences have connected us with these wonderful people. We will find it hard to leave them later this week, not because they need us to stay, but because we have fallen in love with them. Friendships like this usually take years to develop in the US, but after only 2 days we feel so close to many of them.
for the team, Warren
