Our last night in Peru from the Fantastic Four

Sorry guys it has been so long since we have blogged. Justin, Julie, Brad and I are sending this message together.

Wednesday night we went to Lima to a large mall. We had Pizza Hut for dinner. It was a great meal. Wednesday night we went to church in Lima. WOW! We began the service with "Open The Eyes of My Heart Lord". It was cool hearing the song in Enlish and Spanish at the same time. The church was SOOOOOO much like The Grace Place. Until...after the service we were pulled up to the front to dance with the Peruvians! It was so much fun. We danced for what felt like forever. We were so impressed with the youth and young adults on our trip. They praised the Lord and worshipped, so unashamed of their faith. They even jumped off the stage. We had a blast! We got back very late. We all went straight to bed.

Thursday was our last day of VBS. Julie and I were able to work with the moms using the left over makeup samples from our Prom event. We talked to the ladies about how Jesus makes us beautiful like the makeup does. It was great! They didn't know what to do with it. We saw one lady putting lipstick on her eyes. It was so much fun and they kept saying "Mas, Gracias!" Last night was awesome. Junior, Haley, Chris, Jake, Justin, Brad, Donnie and Big Jay ate guinea pig. Justin, Haley, and Junior ate the brain! YUCK! Check out the pics. During group debrief time we served each other communion. We had to choose someone who we saw Jesus in this week to serve. It was so special. We also got to witness Jason and Kathy Guyer renewing their wedding vows. It was a special night and we celebrated the covenant between husband and wife, and also Christ and the church.

Today we spent our last day at Hannah's Home. One half of the home is complete with a roof, sheet rock, electrical, insulation, and plastic windows. The pump house roof and painting is complete as well. A huge trench has been dug and footers poured. Sod was also laid. We have accomplished a lot this week. It is amazing to see the before and after photos.

Tonight, we had a closing bonfire on the beach. During our debreif time, each member of the group shared how God revealed himself during events this week. The group time lasted 2 hours. It was an amazing time led by the Holy Spirit. Lots of joy, tears, and fellowship.

Tomorrow we get to tour Lima and have a final visit with the orphans at Hogar De Ninos. After the visit, we will finish packing then shop at the market all afternoon.

We have had fun, it will be sad to leave but we are all ready to come home to continue God's work in Lenior and share this amazing experience with you all.

Per your requests, here are some pics. We love you all. Thank you for your prayers and support.

See you Sunday!
