Peru Team Update #5

Hola Parentals!! Ruthie and HBeck Here!! Casually Living Our Best Lives!!!

Well, we have officially completed our time of ministry while in Peru. It has been an amazing 6 days. This morning we got up and had breakfast at 6 a.m because church started at 7. Talk about an early service!! We got to hear some authentic Peruvian worship and it was a memorable experience (interpret that as you choose lol). Our team then had a chance to lead worship with three songs: Death Was Arrested, Worthy of Your Name, and Confident. That was a super special time and it was cool to see different cultures come together and still worship the same God.

Andrew Lamb got to share his testimony and it was extremely powerful and moving (it could’ve moved the Andes Mountains-HBeck). Then Troy preached on the Armor of God and he learned very quickly that American humor does not exactly translate… oof (mega oof- Ruthie). but no, he indeed did kill it. They closed the service with an addition Peruvian worship song… oof.

After church, we had a three hour break at the hotel which was MUCH needed and was ended with some intense worship sessions in the hall.

Then we went back to the church to eat lunch and prepare for the last day of VBS. The theme for today was that God wants us to love Him and pursues us. It was our groups time to shine and lead VBS. Our group was me Hannah, me Ruthie, Nathan Petit, Jadin Marshall, and guest star Hunter Decarreau! We had an amazing time playing with the kids this week! Today for our lesson we taught about Saul’s Conversion to Paul and the amazing work Jesus did in his life. HBeck ended our lesson with a beautiful recap and message for the kiddies. Ruthie and Hunter explained the craft which was a bracelet. Jadin explained the game. Today was a total blessing and we are so sad that our trip is coming to an end 🙁

Tomorrow begins the adventure of Machu Pichu. We are so excited to get to experience one of the 7 wonders of the world. Hannah is excited to see it for the first time and Ruthie is ready to go a second time. Prayers are much appreciated as we embark on our journey which starts at 4 a.m. We love you all and are so ready to see everyone Wednesday morning! Sleep tight! Chao!

Ruthie, HBeck, Jadin, and Nathan signing off. Much love!!!
