Peru Mission Trip: Final Goodbyes
It's the final day, I'm packed and ready, and our flight leaves in under 5 hours (Lord willing). It's still not the time (nor do I have the time) to go into all the details and thoughts of the week, but I think that's ok. Mission trips are life-altering, and you don't write out a 3-5 paragraph blog to cover all of that without taking some time to dwell on it. But as for today, it started out bittersweet. Of course we're all ready to go home. Two of our team is able to do an e

Peru Mission Trip: Next Steps
One last night up on the roof in Peru. It's certainly been an interesting and eye opening experience this week, and it will be time til I am able to process it all. Photos as well. I've taken hundreds of photos this week, but the editing process will take some time. But the next step for me will most likely be to process the spiritual and emotional side of it. Coming on trips such as this, in my short experience, results in high emotions, and that takes some time to settle, a

Peru Mission Trip: Missionaries
Today's blog will be short-ish and not very deep, as I realize the last few have been as well. Our schedules have been so packed, the internet so spotty, and my brain so frazzled from the days, that it has been pretty hard to write. Today's challenges were just that, challenging. And I don't really feel it's the time to jump into the details of it. But I do want to mention a conversation I had with a young man on our way home. One of our translators was a young man who, I don

Peru Mission Trip: A New Week, New Joys
As you probably gathered from my previous posts, I have had some thoughts and normal issues that come with being in a new place, etc. Today though, was a really nice visit to one of the other care centers for the organization we're helping. There we got to help with a vacation Bible school event, visit a family and share the gospel with them; and probably the most special moment for me was getting to share the gospel with a little girl. I don't say that to brag or anything li

Peru Mission Trip: Difficulties of the Heart
On a trip like this, I suppose it's normal to have a variety of emotions. Part of me is, frankly, ready to go home. Another part of me isn't ready to go home at all. I think there's something emotionally settling about being in a place like this, for purposes like these; that is, sharing the gospel and helping others for the cause of Christ. But it's also challenging. There's the obvious challenges: a language barrier, cultural differences, and just being very busy. But there

Peru Mission Trip: Some Highlights from the Day
Well, our first night in Peru has come to an end and I just wanted to share a few thoughts from the day. I could go through the events of the day, but I'll skip that for now other than a 30,000 foot view. Devotional in the morning, off to visit some families, and finally help with working with kids at a refuge. It's of course very interesting dealing with a language barrier. Several months of Duolingo really just evaporates when it comes to actually having to use what you've
