Here in Lima...

Our team has arrived in Lima after a long, long journey down and up and down and up and down and up the mountains. We realized during the travel through the mountains, with the help of a gps, that we left our villages with an altitude of almost 11,000 feet to climb mountains a little under 15,000 feet.

We continue to pray for our summer missionaries that we left behind in the villages. It was hard to leave them but at the same time it was very exciting to wonder what God is already doing through them. It has been a privilege to spend time with David, Kelly, Kim and Shane. God put together an incredible group of young people and we believe that He will use them in mighty ways this summer.

Our plane leaves around 11:30 tomorrow night. We would appreciate you praying that we are able to rest well during the all night flight. We will arrive at noon on Monday and then we will all be back at work on Tuesday.

Thanks again for your prayers!
