This is an entry straight from my personal journal last night...
------
What a fabulous 24 hours it has been! I mean, what a day! Let's see, I woke up and had bfast before I attempted to lead worship (I lost my voice from practicing so much!). After a few songs, groups started sharing their group testimonies. It was such an encouraging time to hear the work that is being done in villages that we've already passed through, as well as those we will venture to soon. Many times I am sad that I do not get to form strong relationships with Peruanos this summer and that I do not get to see completed work, but God has continued to bless me with the knowledge that he has planned this summer- and my life for that matter- out so perfectly. The testimonies of teams today were just another proclamation of that truth. Good grief- God has blessed us! Even if it weren't for the stories of salvation and rededication to read, learn, and live the truth, I would consider every team blessed to have so many people to be able to share truth with. I prayed for Marguerita tonight- that she will seek truth in God's word and that she would believe it with all of her heart. I hope to pray for her and others this year, and hear stories of them next summer.
It has been so incredibly fun to hang out with everyone today! It really does feel like a fantastic family reunion. I know I'll be bawling at the end of the summer when I find out that I won't get to see them again. I mt with Kathy Weaver today for my personal interview time, and it was very encouraging (as she always is!). Also, tonight we watched a "movie" called "Eek-Taow: The Story of the Mouk People." It was a great missions video that shows exactly what I want to do- exactly- chronological Bible storying to people who have never heard (Romans 15:20-21). In it, they talked about how God shook the earth in the Bible, and how right after the missionary shared that story there was an earthquake. And the people were not scared, but rejoiceful that God was continuing to show his power. And then, we- no joke- had an earthquake. One of those little ones, but still... God is awesome! I was crying from the video, so I couldn't tell if it was just me or not, but it kept going and I was overwhelmed with amazement at the God of the universe. (Apparently there were 3 other quakes during the night last night, but I didn't feel them!) The only bad thing about today was the food, but that's something I've already shared was a big problem, so please continue to pray about that.
Well, I'm extremely tired and have another long day ahead of me, so ¡bueno noche y dulce sueños!

I still have today and tomorrow morning in Nazca before we all head out again, so please be praying for our time, and for my health! Love you guys!

Two entries in one day! That IS exciting. It is hard to believe you're already halfway through. I can't wait to hear how the rest of the summer goes and how you change because of it.
We're praying for you and looking forward to your return!

Kathy, you continue to amaze me in your endeavors, teaching the word of God to people who do not believe is an exceptional gift from God, who is with you always, watching over you. Sweetheart, please take care of yourself health wise. sorry about the food, what is the first thing you want to eat when you get home??? We are praying for you daily and can't wait for you to get home. The earthquake story is awesome, as well as the beauty shop encounter. YOU are awesome, I am so proud to tell everyone where you are and what you are doing, I just beam when I talk about the work you are doing in the name of God. Please know that we love you very much and that you are in our thoughts constantly. GMA &GPA MAX
I used my online translator to translate the Spanish phrase at the end of you blog. It said "Good night and candy dreams." I got a giggle out of that.
