they say when it rains it pours...
























so this top picture is me and sarah when we actually took showers...this is our night in Chimbote...the last big city before heading up to our village. this was sunday....i haven´t showered since then. gross eh? the picture with our jackets hanging is on our goats´feet clothing rack lol. yeah, that´s right, they use goat´s feet as the hook- look closely. the bed is sarah´s which is on the right side of our massive (empty lol) room. the picture of what looks like a night stand is actually my closet. that´s right ladies and gentlemen...this is what each of us is living out of as far as clothing goes:). it was very very very cold today-- we´re at the end of the rainy season. so when it rains, no one is outside. and there is no way to get warm- no such thing as heat or ac here. so we turn the lights on to stay warm lol. only to find out that tonight, our abuelita doesn´t want us to do that anymore because its expensive. so yeah, today, well it was actually kinda depressing for us all. we stayed bundled up. we did a lot of praying and a lot of bible-storying and a lot of praying and just team bonding. please pray for the sunshine to come out tomorrow. we need it- for warmth and for sanity and for sharing the gospel! this is what happens when it rains in a peruvian village...




















by the way i cannot get the duplicate pictures of mateo off here....what can i say- he´s a ham! i hope you all have a wonderful day. god speed. - jlr<><

Just want to encourage you all. Went to Peru last year and it was an incredible life changing experience...God will use every moment for His glory, even though you may not see it now, you will later. God causes all things to work together for good to those who love the Lord and are called according to His purpose! Rom 8:28
