I am affectionaltely calling this mission trip the Good Will Tour of Peru. We have done much work for the Kingdom of God. Some of the work has been physical like moving dirt and painting, much of it has been relational like VBS and birthday celebrations, but most of it has been spiritual work like ushering in the Mighty Presence of the Spirit of God into each place we have gone. It is easy to become overwhelmed in these places of need...but easy to ask the power of God to come. My two favorite moments of ushering in the Holy Spirit is first when we went into a squatter village to find a soup kitchen to help serve in the next day. We found the two woman who run the soup kitchen. They are caught between a change in jurisdiction and municipalities and they have been without government assistant for food for months. As 6 of us stood around and listened to their heart wrenching story of beauracricy and hunger, there was not much we could do in a tangible way, but that is when you ask for the Spirit of God to come. We asked for the Father and Sustainer of all to be their Jehovah Jireh (Provider) and to come and bring spiritual and physical nurishment. As we left I trusted that the Lord himself would step in and do the work...we were just the vessel he used to usher in His presence. The second favorite moment of ushing in the Holy Spirit was when we marched in the parade for the Peruvian flag day. I know you are thinking crazy that a spiritual memorial stone could be a march, but I promise you the Lord was everpresent in that place. As we march in our red Peru sweatshirts and the children from Hannah's Home marched in red ponchos we ushered in the Kingdom of God. I was mindful of the Lord's prayer as I marched and prayed, Thy Kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. There is much corruption in Chilca and the children's home and the community has come under much attack because of the enemy. As we marched past the officials the crowd was cheering (probably because the Gringo's looked hilarious doing the Peruvian march) but the offficials stood and joined the clapping and cheering. My heart was about the burst with the cry out to God....May the Favor of the Lord surround Hannah's Home like a shield. It was a powerful moment with the Lord to usher in that presence and favor. Those two moments like millions of others the Presence of God has been great. Each face that I looked into dark beautiful eyes and kissed their cheeks I was talking to the Lord about His blessing and His purpose for their life. This earth is not our home, that is so obvious in places of deep harsh need like Chilca, Peru....but it is also true of our comfortable places of plenty. This earth is not our home...I long for the day when we stand in perfection with all peoples of the earth in the FULL presence of our King of Kings. But until that day comes....I will continue to pray, "Your Kingdom come, your will above all Father on earth as it already is in Heaven."!!!!<br />

WOW!!! what a week we have had. I don't know where to start...it has been so awesome to spend so much time with the kiddos this time at hannahs. They are such good kids and it is cool to see each individual personality. The birthday party for Jose and Allison was so much fun. We had decorations, cake, cola, music dancing games. So much fun. I have been on several mission trips and i go thinking i will help others. I always get more than i give. I will miss Peru!!!~~~ Dana Holt<br />

That is the word that God really spoke to me this week. Have faith in Him and all things are possible. Okay, so a little bit of back ground on me, Grace Smith, I have always had a heart for orphans growing up. When I was younger I always pretended to help at an orphanage or adopt many little kids. As I got older I realized there weren't really any orphanages around me (which is Iowa). It didn't really click with me that there are other places in the world that have them. So my dream kinda died because it felt like it wouldn't ever happen. I didn't have faith in the One Above who can make all things happen. When I was asked to come along on this trip I was soo excited! God really showed me that He truely loves me and that He did NOT forget about my dreams and hopes of when I was younger. He is so good. This week has been so touching to me and very dear to my heart. The people and culture here have just become apart of me. God really spoke to me about the word faith, the verse that says "with Christ all things are possible" came to my mind and really hit home for me. I need to have 100% faith in Christ for all things in my life to become possible. I saw that 100% in Jim and Tony Kay this week. They stepped out on faith and moved to a 3rd world country to follow God's leading to make Hannah's Hope a real thing. They figured out that with Christ all things are possible. It is so true, when I look at the orphanage I see God in it and it is part of His kingdom here on earth. God loves seeing children without earthly parents being taken care of and being shown his love through others to them. I was so touched by Jim and Tony Kay the first day we were there when they showed us how they felt and were honest with us at how it is overwhelming, but what I found was that they clung to God and also to eachother. If God can make a dream of Jim and Tony Kay come true because of their faith, He can make His dreams for me come true if I have total faith in Him. This morning we had our quiet time and ocean devotion over Exodus 3 where Moses sees a burning bush and God speaks to him. When God says "Moses, Moses" I love how Moses responded "Here I am". Are we responding to God when He says OUR name like that? Or are we saying 'I'm to busy right now for You'? Another thing that really jumped out to me in these morning devos was when Moses says in verse 11 "Who am I, that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the Israelites out of Eygpy?", Moses here was like whao I'm nothing special here and I don't think I can do this thing. I love how God clearly answers "I will be with you". Wow oh wow, what a wonderful promise. Don't you think that if God said that to Moses back than, that He is still saying this to us now? I do. We serve such an AWEsome God who truely loves us and will always be there for us, we just need to have faith.<br />

We're pretty much blogging amateurs so bear with us, but we want to fill you in on the events of our last full day in Chilca. It started with the most amazing dolphin show in the waves while we shared in 'Ocean Devotions' this morning. Nana had been whining about not having seen a dolphin yet, and begging everyone to point them out to her, no matter who was talking or what was going on. :-) Lo and behold, today they performed the entire half hour we were worshipping, and she considered it a sweet gift from the Lord. As the theme of our week has been 'what's in a name?' and we looked each day into the names of Christ, today our Scripture was in Exodus 3:1-15, and the great 'I AM WHO I AM' passage where Moses sees the burning bush. How amazing that Joey had prayed at the packing party 'I pray that everyone of you sees a burning bush this coming week - Amen.' How incredible that God connected the passage that had already been prepared for Saturday's devotion when he prayed that for us.<br />
Our day began by dividing into groups and walking the dirt streets of Pastor Jorge's village, inviting the neighborhood children to the park in the center of town, for VBS. We were thrilled to see so many sweet faces appear for our Jonah skit, basketball, coloring, etc. We were especially blessed to have Pastor Jorge come and share with us, as Manny translated, and welcomed us to his community. What joy! The rest of the day was spent preparing for the party to celebrate the birthdays of Allison and Jose, two of the children who live at Hannah's. The Peruvians know how to put on a party!!! It was such a privilege and blessing to all of us, to be able to make this day special for these two dear children who have so little and have been through so much. Actually, the truth is, all of Hannah's children bless us with their smiles and contentment and love.<br />
Team time tonight was beyond decription, but that's another story for another time. What an amazing group of people, focused on loving and serving Christ, by being His hands and feet to one another and the people of Peru. As the 'senior citizens' of this group that God put together, we have been so loved on, and had the great joy to love on them as well. Nana and Mama Chill plan to keep pressin' on for the Lord as long as He gives us the strength to do so.<br />
Signing off with a very special Birthday wish from Mom to Skip! I love you all and will see you soon! Connie<br />
Bob, and the rest of my dear family, missing you all but be home soon! God be praised for all He has done!

<br />
When the team arrived at Hannah's, they quickly began marching practice...which they were so incredible at, they only had to practice a couple times! They quickly got in to the dirt, literally, and continued moving dirt....Rob rigged quite a system of team a and team b which would alternate shoveling and wheel barrowing (is that a word? we'll go with it!) for 20 minutes at a time!<br />
<br />
We ate a quick lunch and then we were off to the PARADE!!!<br />
<br />
The parade was quite different this year, it was in front of the municipality building and was way more organized...streets were blocked off and the crowd was controlled...we watched for about a half an hour and then it was our turn!<br />
<br />
let's just say, there are no words....this is Gateway's 3rd time marching and it was indescribable...the people were cheering LOUD for us and when we passed by the grand stand, the officials rose to their feet and were clapping for us. They had been announcing all morning every 10 minutes that there was a special group with ChildReach Ministries...so needless to say, in spite of our white skin, we were standing out big time...the cool part...our prayer going into it is that we would all point to Jesus and I truly believe we did just that...His presence was so real there...it was AWESOME!<br />
<br />
Back to Hannah's for some more service opportunities and then let's just say...the majority of the team (the students and the Hannah's children) were super-stoked that pizza was for dinner! Nothing like Dominoes in Peru! :)))) (no more Pizza Hut for us!) Dinner was celebrated with all the staff and family at Hannah's...wonderful evening!<br />
<br />
Then...the night was NOT over...the cafeteria in the back was transformed into a DAY SPA! Manis and Pedis were in full swing! Mani's and Pedi's for EVERYONE! Yes, Jim and Dave and Jose and Brandon all got pedis! (well, a couple of them just opted for the massage part...but we pampered every single last one of them and then true to mission trip form...the tables turned and the girls had to paint all of our nails...it was precious and priceless!<br />
<br />
I think the night was a highlight for everyone for the week...scratch that...I KNOW it was a highlight...but the icing on the cake was when Karin, one of the ladies that works at Hannah's, said through translation after Adri and Aubree had given her a manicure and a pedicure..."I've never had someone do this for me before...I felt as though it was God' hands Himself touching my hands and feet tonight, I praise God that He sent you here to be His hands and feet..." there was not a dry eye after that...God spoke BIG...we saw the burning bush...all of us. Cause that is what we are here for...to be His hands and His feet...and to walk the road of submission...a life that says "yes, Lord". Sometimes it is just a simple task of getting a washbin and a water and washing someone's feet...providing relief. Doing something that might be out of our comfort zone but is a pure act of obedience to God...others are blessed, we are changed.<br />
<br />
It's late, the team is hopefully all sleeping...and we are ready for another incredible day ahead of us...including a BIRTHDAY PARTY!!! for 2 of the children!<br />
<br />
Thank you for all your prayers...we know that you are praying...we seriously can see the answers with our own eyes...Laci-God has definitely slowed the week down and pushed pause several times...everyone has commented on how long this week has felt..so thank you for that prayer!<br />
<br />
love to all...<br />

(in a good way:) God has shown his love and faithfulness in many ways in all of our lives. whether it be letting God take control, knowing that his plan is the right one, worrying about the smallest things when God really has the control, not taking our parents for granted, loving the kids without speaking, not to just put a name with a face but actually knowing the story and last but not least, not just the kids just learning from us, but us learning from them.<br />
throughout the week we worked our traseros(butts) off. we moved dirt pile after dirt pile and painted wall after wall. and yet it was all worth it because of the relationships and experiences God has shaped along the way. we would all definitely say that we are all closer with each other and with the adults on this trip. we are coming home as one family, one family in Christ that is! working with each other and talking about our lives has touched all of our lives and made us learn that what we say and how we act matters and can make a difference.<br />
there are many stories to be told and some are just way too long to write. so we encourage you to take the time and ask us all about what this week has meant to us and changed our hearts. if there is one thing that we are sure of, it's that knowing the stories really matters and truly can change your perspective. <br />
welll, thats all the FWEENS have for you,<br />

That's exactly the way it is supposed to be.Let me just say that one more time, just in case you didn't really get that the first time: God is in control and that's exactly the way it is supposed to be. He is ALL POWERFUL. From the time I have been here in Peru He has continued to open my eyes and open my heart to all that He can be in our lives. Every experience has lead to a glimpse of his handiwork...the first day we were swept into the ocean (literally) and today I stood in aww at the perfection and work of each and every wave as it crashed to the rocks. He truly makes the way for all that we do. Nana and I got 100% soaked and it was 100% unexpected only hours after landing in Peru. We had to run after her only pair of shoes and our cameras so we would not lose them completely.It was not my plan, to say the least, but because of this I was able to stand back and see all that He can do. What's even more crazy, though, is I loved being taken by His presence/purpose for my life. At that moment I felt that anything God wants to do, I have faith that He will do in me this week and in my life. I had another one of these moments this morning as well, just a realization that when you put God in every situation it is amplified. As I was finishing my run on the beach I made my way up quite a few blue stairs to stare out at an indescribable view filled with waves flooding onto the beach every second. In each second as the wave crashed and rolled over they hit the rock at just a spot that forced the water completely vertical. Just picture the Little Mermaid on her rock, but with these waves she would have gotten knocked over, sadly. God is in control of each of those moments and He creates the beauty of each and every wave. Wow :)<br />
I love that and I love all of these moments and memories that I can bring home with me. The challenge is to carry these lessons and allow them to change us. Let me challenge you to encourage those around you in their faith and in their walk to trust God and find comfort in the control and purpose that He has for you. It is something amazing.<br />
Love you all so much and thank you to all of you that have helped and supported through all I do, including this mission trip to Peru...<br />
Have a great day! Megan Yohe :)<br />

Hola, sweet chica! Momma misses you so very much. I have been talking about you all the time (to those around here that understand me...and even those that don't!) I show them pictures and they give your face precious kisses...just like I do! As much as I miss you, God has been so good to me down here. He has shown me purpose, faithfulness, and lots of beautiful moments.<br />
Momma has met some really amazing people down here. Those pictures of the sweet children that we have in our kitchen are here and I love on them every day. Their sweet faces and darling smiles are just adorable. There are some wonderful people who work in the childrens' home that I spend time with too. Tony Kay and Jim are a wonderful couple who have given up a lot to show the people of Peru love, compassion, and consistency. Dave is the architect who has designed integral parts of Hannah's. Because of his patience and dedication to doing what God called him to, we get to benefit and be a part of something truly wonderful.<br />
There are lots of other people who are certainly very important down here, but Siena, I have to tell you about a few very special ones.<br />
Because we don't speak the language down here, we have a few translators that travel everywhere with us. We would be lost without their communication. Because they are always with us, we have been able to have lots of conversation. Imanuel and JP are two of them. They are wonderful and have saved us from very awkward moments with the people of Peru. Also, we have Jasmine and Merari. These two women are truly amazing people who I hope you meet someday. They have such special stories. They speak so much truth and honesty - it's amazing. I have had such special conversations with them. They have shared much more than just language with me. God truly put them in our group for a reason and I promise to share more stories about them when I get home.<br />
Siena, will you please tell your Daddy that I miss him too? Tell him that we have been doing all the hard prep work on the soccer field so that when he comes down here, he can get the job finished. Give him big kisses for me and tell him thank you for taking care of you while I'm down here. Momma is not going to come home the same girl...I will return a much better person, wife, momma, and friend. Kisses to you, my love. See you soon. Chao.<br />
Love always,<br />

Yes, we were part of a 50 or so person congo line in church! So fun and let me tell you, the Peruvians know how to worship with a passion. I wasn't sure exactly what we were singing, but it was a blast none the less. <br />

<br />
Anyway, this morning, we were able to acompany the ladies that run the children's home into town to the market for the weekly trip to purchase groceries. In my sheltered mind I was thinking a Wal-Mart type place. Not so much. The first thing we see is about 40 chickens hanging from the ceiling, plucked and ready to be cooked. Then we see some pig heads and behinds. Not really anything that is on my grocery run. It was very interesting walking around this huge market with booth after booth of food, clothing, shoes, toys, and about anything else you could ever need. <br />
<br />
Before I left for Peru, 2 very generous ladies from Meyer Labs were sweet enough to donate some money to my trip. Rusty and I decided that it would be best used if I just brought it here to find out if it could cover a need for someone. After praying for guidence, a need came up amongst the children's home that we are here serving. The ladies that run it were saying that the kids' rooms were starting to stink and were unorganized because they didn't have a specific hamper to put their dirty clothes. So at the market today, we were able to purchase 5 hampers for them (one for each sibling pair.) After that I had 45 Soles (Peruvian money) left over. I asked them what else we could buy and the cook said with a shy smile, "a new pot?" So, off to the pot booth we went. Trying to be humble, she picked one out that I would cook mac-n-cheese in, just for me! She has to cook for at least 14 so we said "mas grande!" After reassuring her that if we were going to buy a pot we needed to buy the right one, she picked out the one she wanted. We asked how much it was and were not surprised when she simply said "45 Soles!" God is so cool with the details of things. So, special ladies, you helped purchase the cook a pot that will help greatly in cooking for that many and will help with dirty laundry. :-) <br />

The lady that runs the place said that she loved the started soup and if we didn't eat it all, she would treat us like she does the kids and give us chores. Then out came the chicken soup.<br />
<br />

Yes, a chicken foot fresh from the market run. So after some great photo opps and a quick chicken foot high five, we were done with the soup. I will probably not be trying to make that one.<br />
<br />

The kids are great and are really just kids. A game of tag is a game of tag, and laughter knows no language barrier. (Which is great because I am pretty sure I have lost about all of my Spanglish!) We should have a great day tomorrow. Amy and I are starting the day at 5:30 to french braid all of the girls' hair for their big flag day parade! Right up my ally, right? Loving it!<br />
Lots of love to my boys (all three) and to all that are helping me be able to be here. God is showing me some really cool things about myself and I am truly grateful to be able to make this journey. <br />
Adios!<br />

Yes! Today was the first day of VBS! So, after our worship time and breakfast at Ola Grande, we headed to Hannah's to pick up all the "stuff" for VBS! We went to a pre-school to share Christ with them. We had the opportunity to walk there, to see where Thalia, Cecilia and Brandon had lived (by themselves) prior to coming to Hannah's...ran into a crazy neighbor, who ended up being harmless...and arrived to a school filled with precious precious children...all eager to meet the white people! They were literally bouncing off the walls! It was priceless. Imagine trying to corral and contain 60 rambunctious 2-5 year olds...it was a blast!<br />
<br />
There was singing and the drama about Jonah and the whale....followed by the infamous orange race (which they loved!) and then some coloring time followed by bubbles, finger nail painting...playing with beach balls...and just loving on the kids...you couldn't wipe the smiles off the teams faces!<br />
<br />
We then went back to Hannah's and started service opportunities which included painting, moving dirt, digging ditches for trees and making lunch!<br />
<br />
We were able to enjoy lunch with the children today...picnic style...it was a great time...Amanda shared her story with the children and did a phenomenal job of getting on their level and sharing how God is their Father and He loves like no other can.<br />
<br />
Afternoon was a continuing of service opportunities for the team...I love watching this team just jump in and say yes to whatever is asked...everyone is giving 100% and I KNOW God is pleased!<br />
<br />
Today was day 2 setting up salon for me and I have to say my joy came in getting to teach Cecilia (the oldest child at Hannah's~12yrs old) how to cut her sister, Thalia's hair. Yesterday, Cecilia was intently watching me cut other children's hair and we could tell she was very interested, paying attention to every detail! So, today when she was watching I asked if I could let her help me cut...her eyes lit up! Let's just say she was a natural, a natural with holding the scissors, she cut a perfect straight line and didnt even cut herself...I couldn't wipe the smile off my face...it was such a blessing to me! Tomorrow, I will continue to show her more hair-cutting techniques and I truly believe this girl will go on to become a hairstylist some day...she did GREAT!<br />
<br />
Another blessing of the day has been getting to know Merari, our translator. She is so inspiring to me. She is 29 years old, single, pastor of youth at her church, runs a feeding center in North Lima that feeds 30 kids every weekend and is a missions trip leader getting ready to take her youth to Brazil this summer on a missions trip...AND she is wanting to take her youth to AFRICA next year! The more we talked, the more I could just see and feel God's presence all around her....she gives so selflessly using her own finances to run her feeding center....oh, and I forgot to mention she owns a language school in Lima that teaches 5 languages, has it's own administrator, 5 teachers and 120 students....WOW, oh, and one more thing...she speaks 4 languages...this girl is a really cool girl and I am so glad God put her on our trip! She has inspired me in so many ways...and inspired so many of us!<br />
<br />
We went to church at Shalom tonight and enjoyed our time worshipping with them...it was the Pastor's birthday so there was a DANCE PARTY after church...(minus the disco ball, though!)...it was a great evening!<br />
<br />
We're back at Ola Grande now...ready to call it a night and be ready for all God has for us tomorrow!<br />
<br />
Thank you all for your prayers...we can definitely feel them!<br />

I know you all have busy lives to get to (that's why you're reading this blog) so I'll only talk about today (which is one of the best so far). This morning, we got up at the usual time and had our quiet times. I have this little spot on the roof that overlooks the ocean (aren't you jealous) and the town and it is absolutely beautiful. I usually take a moment to take it all in and each day, it just gets better. After our Ocean Devotion (it's where we worship our Glorious Father and talk about what we got out of the devotionals), we had breakfast (the food's AMAZING here, by the way) and after breakfast we went to Hannah's Home, which is always cheerful. Right away, we got to work. Some painted rooms, others dug holes.... me? I was directing the VBS skit and blocking (planned movement when in a skit/production) our story and figuring out costumes and learning cue's in Spanish. We literally had an hour (maybe a half added) to figure everything in the skit out. We started with giving out roles (and costume). After separating the costumes and figuring out their purpose, roles were given and everybody was ready to start working. It didn't take long to get everything blocked, the hard part was everybody learning they're cue's (the entire script was read in Spanish) and remembering what to do. Without much rehearsal, we went over to a schools parade with confidence and performed very smoothly (only one, or maybe two cue's were repeated, but I call that a success for only having an hours worth of practice). Afterwards, the parades began. They were very short parades (only walking 10 feet and walking back) but each class had so many cute children, no one cared. During the parade, a little girl came up and started talking to Adri, Amanda, and I. Lucky for us, Adri knew enough Spanish to communicate with the girl and figure out a few things about her. I asked her what her name was (one of the only phrases I know how to say in Spanish) and she said Alexadra. She is seven (Ciete. Excuse my spelling. Spell check is no help) and, without knowing it, we were communicating (You'd be surprised at how well you can communicate with a child that doesn't speak your language). She grabbed her jacket and but it around Amanda, which was so sweet. She notice my mom's camera in my hand and asked to take a picture. I'm not going to say no to a seven year old, so of course I let her. Before I knew it, she was going around taking pictures of random people (I assumed she knew them, but also pictures of people on our team). She had it all figured out, she could turn on and off the camera, take a clear picture and look at it (it took a while for my mom to figure that out). She would always gesture for everyone around to get inside the picture and it was so cute, I would box her up and send her home. I swear, one day that little girl will be a photographer (thanks to me). Alexandra would speak to me in Spanish and I wouldn't know what to say (I don't speak Spanish) and I would think "Your'e so cute, I just can't understand what your'e saying (a quote from Nemo, look it up). Luckily we had our translators (they are all awesome, by the way) and one time (with translation) Alexadra asked me if I was leaving now because she wanted me to stay. That just about made me melt. Right then, I was determined to make sure this little girl was happy with my company and that she knew that I was her friend. So I followed her around (with my camera) and gave her hugs when she hugged me, and took pictures when she asked for them, and loved her like she was my own. We went inside a building and someone offered a tour of where the children at Hannah's Home lived before they lived there. Well, I wanted to see it, so I did. I told Alexadra "one second" and went on the tour. When I came back, I didn't see her. Then, I saw her leaving with her mom. She didn't see me, and she left. That kind of made me sad because just because I was making her feel special, doesn't mean she wasn't making me feel special. That little girl made me feel just as loved as I did her. I felt like we had a relationship and I will never forget that, ever (and I will always have those pictures on my camera). That was one of the biggest things today. The other was when we went to Hannah's Home and we played hide-and-go-seek with all the kids. When we left, all of the children came and hugged us and gave us kisses and said "Ciao!". Just that feeling of love from kids that you barely know is bigger than life and you can't imagine it unless you get yourself down here and see for yourself!!!<br />

When you ask God to show up, He does! This entire day has been awesome, but one particular moment really stood out to me. We went into the town of Chilca today and learned a little about the needs and the beliefs of the people there. We were asked to divide up into four groups and each group went down a different street on a prayer walk. I really wasn't sure what a prayer walk looked like, even after being explained what it was. As each group headed off in different directions I wasn't sure what to pray for, was it for protection over the city, for the people to know and trust in the Lord? I soon realized it didn't matter what <i>I</i> thought should be prayed because the Holy Spirit led us to three very sweet little boys. They were walking and playing outside their house. JP, our translator, asked them how old they were and what their names were. They were so sweet, you could see it in their eyes they wanted to talk to us, but didn't know what to say. We asked them if we could pray over them and eagerly they said "si" So right there in the middle of street, in the town of Chilca, we all knelt down and prayed over them. We prayed for God to show them the great plans He has for them and that He would guide them. It was plain, simple, but felt mighty. I don't what they believe, where their faith is, or what they have been told but I do know God has a plan for them and will always hold our prayer in His hands.<br />

Our second day here in Peru is coming to a close. As I listen to all of the laughter and fellowship in the background, my heart is full of joy. I never thought being on a completely different continent, I could still feel like I am home. I think it is because God really does live in my heart...so no matter where I am, He is there. He is here. I see God everywhere. When I was here 2 years ago, I couldn't see God anywhere it seemed. Isaiah had been gone only 6 months, and life just seemed so painful...so unfair. This time around, I feel like a completely new person, and I am now able to see things and feel things in a completely new way. I am so thankful to God for turning that pain and sorrow into joy and for this reason and so many others, God is my Redeemer.<br />
Today we got to go into the heart of Chilca and split up into groups to walk through the streets and pray for the community. In the group I was a part of, we met with three young boys ages 9, 6, and 2. they were so sweet and loving. We took pictures of them and with them and then we knelt down around them and prayed for their lives to be lead by Christ and for them to know His love and they grow up. It was such a sweet experience. We then headed to the school that the kids of Hannah's Home attend. We got to pick them up and take them home on the big bus. As they got all loaded up, I met eyes with a precious little girl that stole my heart when I was here two years ago. Her name is Naomi. She saw me, smiled, and ran straight to my seat and sat with me. In that moment, I was pretty sure my heart would melt. We couldn't talk to each other because we don't speak the same language, but we really didn't have to. Just sitting together was more than enough for me. When we got back to Hannah's, we gave them the gifts we brought and then they had to get to their homework. so we all split up and headed to our assigned jobs for the afternoon. I was with a few people doing preparation for the soccer field that the football boys will be working on in a couple weeks. It consisted of shoveling rocks into wheel barrels and moving it to the field to fill in the low spots. We then moved dirt onto the field to level out the ground. It was 2 hours of hard work and I loved every minute of it, especially since there was so much opportunity for talking laughing, and getting to know a few of my team members better. At about 5, we headed back to Ola Grande where we ate dinner. Instead of the usual chicken, rice, and french fries of the last trip I had here, we got the most delicious steak and veggie stir-fry along with the above-mentioned carbs. We all enjoyed dinner very much and even got to have birthday cake for one of our translators. Without them, we would be in bad shape. The four translators that are a part of the team are a very crucial piece of this journey. We are all very grateful for them, and are all enjoying getting to know them!<br />
So I am realizing that this has gotten a little long and strayed away from my original point....Who is God to you? I challenge each of you reading this to really seek and pray about how you would answer that question. I have about a hundred different answers but ultimately, He is always faithful!<br />

Not so! I can only speak for myself, but I feel as though I have had this incredible energy to just go...and see....and do. We arrived in Peru around 5:00 a.m. today, made about an hour trip by bus to our hotel (hostal), and hit the ground running when we got here it seems like! We had an incredible worship time with the sound of the waves in the background, breakfast, and a van full of kiddos from Hannah's Hope joined us for a play day! I have to say I didn't know what to expect from the children. Some of those who have been to Peru before on a mission trip knew some of them already and were SO excited to see them pull up...calling some of them by name as they saw them through the window. The kids piled out and gave each of us hugs and kisses on the cheek...melted my heart instantly! I don't know any of these children and vice versa, but everyone just jumped right in with one another and started connecting. We spent some time singing with them (they shared some songs they had been practicing), we played with the beach balls and parachutes, and played in the sand. For me, though, the time I spent with Gisella (I'd say around 8 years old) was wonderful. We could not speak each other's language, but we were able to communicate as if we could. We ran in and out of the waves hand-in-hand so many times I lost count. It was a spur of the moment decision to get into the water, so I had some super soggy sweats when I was done, but what a blast! Gisella was more than willing to tell me how to say "sand" or "birds" in Spanish...she smiled the entire day I think! I am AMAZED at what I have seen so far...friendships forming, children smiling, laughing, singing...God is here. He is SO here. He did exactly what all of us asked of Him before we came to Peru. He met us here...and it's only day one!!! I feel blessed to be here...it's a trip of a life time. Someone once said, "God lives just outside of your comfort zone." And that is the truth!</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I have to say this was the MOST UNEVENTFUL, SMOOTH traveling day we have ever had......UNTIL we couldn't find the last 2 bags. Long story short, they somehow were tagged in KC with a strangers name who was going to Brazil...how that happened, we don't know...but we are just glad it was 2 bags and not 48!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Today is the Presidential Election in Peru so everything is closed...churches included! SO, when in a pinch...use what you've got, right? We had church on the beach, with the background of the crashing waves of the ocean...yep, you heard that right! Worship, ocean, sharing, crashing waves, Scripture...amazing!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The children from Hannah's Home joined us around 11 and we worshiped again with them, followed by playing in the sand, and even in the water...to us, it's chilly here...not to them. They had their swimsuits on and were ready to play! Gotta love a child's heart!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">We were able to go to lunch at El Sol complete with a hike up the "mountain"...just kidding, the big hill!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I can say we had a 1st today...we went on a tour that we'd never been on...and it definitely stretched us all out of our comfort zones...we toured the fishing dock in Pucasana, where the fisherman bring and drop off their catches at...let's just say, I don't think I ever need to do that again, and I'm pretty adventurous! I'm not quite sure what we are were walking through, but I heard several say..."is this what you meant by stretching us and pushing us out of our comfort zones???" YEP!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I'll close with this, an anchor on the dock caught my eye today. We were all watching a rather large bird devour a fish when out of the corner of my camera lens, I saw a unique anchor...it was in the shape of a cross...what a message...the cross is an anchor. When we don't which way to turn, when life overwhelms us, when concerns demand our attention and cause us worry, when life just plain doesn't make sense, when we can't see the big picture and we can't figure out what God is doing...we can look to the cross, we can remember the sacrifice that was made for our freedom...we can know that it anchors us, it keeps us steady, it helps us see past what is in front of us, it gives us purpose and the blood that was shed there is what has made a way for us to have peace with the Father and peace in our hearts.</span><br />
