Our team just arrived into Nasca today after a day of saying goodbye and then driving the hardest part of the trip through the mountains. We are all very tired but at the same time excited because of the work God is doing in our adopted village. It has been exciting to see the relationships deepen and the awareness of our purpose building in the community.
Yesterday the village celebrated Peru's independence day. They have a parade where each neighborhood of the village marches before the community leaders. At the end of the parade they asked us to march, too. What was greater than that honor was to hear them announce us as being missionaries. That means we are more than visitors or tourists but they recognize that we are here for a specific reason.
Please pray for the summer missionaries as they begin their re-entry process. It will be difficult for them to adjust but they are wonderful young people with a great passion to share the gospel.
Thank you for your prayers and even for your patience as we have not been able to blog as much as we had anticipated due to the village internet not working during our visit. As we would say on the trip... welcome to Peru!
We will continue our travel tomorrow into Peru and then to a camp so that the summer missionaries can debrief with the missionary leadership.
