Hola Padres!!
It’s another beautiful day here in Cusco, Peru! We were just approached by Lily asking us to tell Mrs. Shipp that she loves her, so there ya go! Today a group of people had the amazing opportunity to serve at a local orphanage while others went door to door, participated in market evangelism, and painted the church!
Hey guys its Cammy!! At the orphanage today I was able to meet so many little kids and was able to see their day to day activities. After that, a few of us got to help paint the furniture in the house. The little kiddos were so cute and it was amazing to be able to see God at work there! After visiting the orphanage, the three of us got to lead VBS! Our theme for the day was “Jesus loves us, so we can love others”. We focused on Mark 2 and how Jesus healed the paralyzed man. I was able to become Jesus for a hot second and healed a paralyzed Ashley. Who knew my Jesus costume would double as my prom dress #prom2k19???? I also got to explain our craft for the day to our new friends!!
Sah dudes its Andrew L. While I was at the orphanage, Gabe and I had the pleasure to bust our backs while cultivating the land for their crops. I was given this plot of land about 10×10 square feet. I removed all of the grass and other roots/ rocks for them to plant alfalfa to feed the rabbits. It was an honor to bless the people in the orphanage. While meeting everyone, it was amazing to see how God is present there. At VBS I got to carry a broken Ashley to be healed by Jesus (aka Cammy). After the skit, I got to lead the lesson about loving others the way God loves us.
Hola its AGB!!! Today I had the chance to go door to door and share the word of God. Patrick, Ruthie, KK, and I were able to bless three women sorting potatoes. We were able to help them sort and hopefully lighten their work load. I was able to share my testimony, Patrick was able to pour into them, and Ruthie was able to pray over them. I was also informed that in Peru, all Asian people are considered Chinese. If you are from Japan, they would say you are from China. Weird right? We walked around then back down the street to find people preparing vegetables for their meal. Ruthie and I were able to help peel vegetables called Abbas. It was amazing to get to talk to them and aid them. Then we jumped into VBS! I was able to read the passage from Mark 2. I acted as a narrator for the skit, and prayed over the kids.
We are so thankful for your prayers and support throughout our trip! We ask that you continue to pray for health and rest for us so we are able to pour into the people of Peru. Gracias, Hasta Luego!!
With Love,
Cammy, Andrew L, & AGB
