I´m in the city of Ica tonight, passing between Cusicancha and Santiago de Chorcovo.
Cusicanchi was definitely my favorite village so far. The people received our Creative Ministries so well, and the village team was so hospitable towards me and my team!
Four cool things:
1) We asked to perform at the colegio (high school) and it just so happens that they were having a Father´s Day celebration the same day. We got to perform not only for the kids, but also for several of their parents who came!
2) That same night, we performed again in the plaza. It was SO cold (I was wearing 4 shirts, 2 pants, 2 pairs of socks, 2 pairs of gloves, and scarf and a hat) but so many people came out to watch it. This is the first village we did the box skit at (the skit I got from my church youth minister, Stu) and it went really well both times. I think it is a fun way to clearly show the gospel´s effects on different people´s lives. Our other dramas are going really well too, and everyone loves our puppets and singing (English or Spanish).
3) We had a very impromptu Bible Study with a woman (22) named Marguerita. She was walking home from work, we asked her if she would like to study the Bible with us sometime, and she said sure... now! It was good. She seemed very interested and the village team set up a second date with her.
4) The last night, Audra, Leslie, and I were out in the plaza and were hanging out with a bunch of the teenage boys. We taught them a bunch of "American" dances like the running man, C-walk, Thriller, etc. Then, we did ballet stuff with them, and they all tried to do the splits. :-) We also made lots of animal noises- I´m a really good goat for those of you who haven´t heard my goat yet- and sand lots of songs. We taught them some random words too, that they put into this sentence: "Tomorrow, beuatiful, I love you." It was so funny!
God is really doing mighty things in Peru! I´m excited to travel to other villages (despite not liking spending a large portion of my time in buses) and see what transpires!
Keep commenting please! Love you all!

Hey Girlie!! Kathy, I am so excited for you to be experiencing this!!! I am praying for you and your team that God would give you victory in these villages for His glory, and how exciting that is! I hope your Spanish is improving and that you are well and healthy and that you are being blessed by your time abroad. I pray that He reveal to you wisdom and further direction for your future : ) love <3 love, Em
Tell those teenage boys to watch it. :)
I'm really glad that people are being receptive to the gospel. It will be really fun to hear more detailed stories from you when you get back. We should have lots to talk about.
I'm praying for you baby. Keep focusing on our Lord!
