Well, HELLO everyone! We finally have internet again! The team (Ellen, Molly, Katie, Patty, me, and Ellen's aunt and uncle) are here in Arequipa on our mid summer retreat. We were going to go to Puno City, but riots erupted there on Friday or Saturday, so we needed to change.
Anyway, we're all doing great and the city is huge and beautiful! The weather is fairly warm, which is such a nice change. It will surely be missed. Well I haven't been able to read the blogs Miles has been updating you all with, but here's a quick synopsis of what has gone on.
We've mostly been story-ing at the municipal building MWF and teaching at the school as well those days. On TTh we go to a few people that we've made relationships with and individually story with them. However, the school for some reason doesn't really want us to teach anymore, so we decided as a team to not teach there anymore instead of pressing the issue and causing a problem.
Another minor set back per say has been that at community story-ing, it has mostly been kids, which if that is who God wants us to speak to, then so be it. However, we really pray that we can story with more adults.
When the BST came, VBS was very successful. The kids really seemed to enjoy it, and I pray that they will remember what they learned.
This retreat has actually been very well placed because I feel as though we can recuperate and regroup and come up with different ways to talk to people when we get back. But, God has been doing AMAZING things in Conima, and I wish we had internet in Conima to update more thoroughly. We pray that everyone back home knows how safe and great we're doing and doesn't over worry about us. We can't wait to get back home, but it will be bittersweet for sure.
Well, like I said, I wish I could update more, but if I typed everything I've written out so far, you all would be reading straight for hours.
Until next update (which Katie and I will have internet for sure the 22nd of July), God BLESS!
Psalm 18 and 23
