Wow… we are here!
This picture is from our first day of travel - that is what we saw all day long!
After almost 17 hours of driving through many different types of views – we made it to the villages yesterday around 3:00 p.m. We found out why the people were so far removed from others in civilization. Check out these pictures from the mountain tops looking down in the valley. The pictures really do not tell the story. God’s creation is so amazing.
We met with some folks in the community after checking into our hostel. The name of it is Hotel Yuly. If you have ever visited the fort in St. Augustine – the rooms remind me of those rooms of the fort. We keep hitting our heads on the top of the entry ways – the folks who made the building were much shorter than us!
We worshipped last night with a local Pentecostal church. It was great. Fernando & Millie actually knew all of the songs from their days in the Dominican Republic. They blend really well with some of the customs here.
Today we will visit in two of the villages. We will look to meet with the mayor, at the school and the small hospital. These folks obviously will be able to give us a good overview picture of their community. The Peruvians are very proud of the country.
Please pray for us today – that we will stay focused on the task, have more energy as we get accustomed to the altitude and that we encounter the exact people that God wants us to interact with.
We can’t tell you how much it means to know that folks are praying for us. The blog setup actually shows us who has registered to view the blog. We are very encouraged by you all! Thanks.
