I recently realized that I never blogged anything about my time in Peru last October! (Except for a small little story named "God Gave me the Hiccups" posted January 17th) It was such an a.m.a.z.i.n.g. experience I just have to share it with you!
Well, from the very start people could just feel the energy pulsing through our group. In fact, it seemed the sky felt it too, because when we took off for Peru that late October evening there was lots of rain and lightning:D Other than that storm, the flights there & back were (thankfully) uneventful. God protected us (us meaning me and about 50 others with the Institute in Basic Life Principles) from anything tragic that I'm sure Satan wanted to come upon us. :-S
We were up all night flying and then around 2pm Peru time we landed. (The time kept changing as we landed in different countries:P We were all confused) As soon as we stepped foot off the plane we just started going, going, going... and we didn't stop 'till we re-boarded the plane at the end of the week. Jesus worked in so many hearts and changed so many lives that short week. God's presence was so "heavy" with us the entire trip... I am so grateful for the opportunity I had to serve.
I could share so much more, and at some point I will. (Pinky-promise) But I wanted to post some photos first:-) So... here they are!!!!!!!!!
So, all in all, Peru was wonderful. Jesus is AMAZING. And life is good. <3
Until next time, toodles!

| This was when we visited an abused girls shelter. Most of these girls were either saved off the streets or from human trafficking. It was the saddest thing ever:'( |
