Before I get started with our day today, I just want to thank all of you for your words of encouragement and prayers. It is amazing to be a part of God's work. Never forget that each and every one of you are a part of what we are doing. Those of us here in Peru have an advantage over all of you at home; we get to see first hand the Lord's work. You are praying and encouraging and will only get to hear second hand about what the Lord has done through you. Please never speak of what we here are doing. Your role at home is one of the most important roles that there is. Prayer is an opportunity to speak to our living God, and you are choosing to spend that time lifting up those you love dearly, have never met, and some you never will meet. We covet your prayers, and I truly believe all of this would be for nothing without them. From the bottom of our hearts, we thank you.
Today we went back to the same location and they were waiting for us. We saw around 80 people through the clinic with anything from a headache, aspirating a growth on a knee, to severe burns with some skin healing over. His name was Royer, and I will never forget him. His daughter is still in the hospital from the accident. I had an opportunity to pray with him. He pretty much has nothing. It is funny how you can come all the way to Peru to touch people's lives for the Lord and He does a work in you. I will try to post his picture later. I worked the door most of the day. Everyone has a number, so I call the number and ask them to come in and have a seat. I have a cheat sheet for my Spanish and rely heavily on Jared (one of the long term missionaries). I have had many conversations that end with me going to get help. We have church tonight. Vince is going to preach, and some of us are going to share our testimonies. I will let you know how it goes. All in all it was a great day. Dios le bendiga.
hey this is evan have fun and stay safe see ya later!!

ReplyDeleteJoe, Keep up the great work. I'll keep on praying. Have you had the energy to run at all? Have you tried any of the local food? So many questions, so little time. -nick
