Dancing, Sports Court, Varnishing,

greetings from the mountains of Peru!

it is another gorgeous morning here. probably a little cooler than it is in central arkansas! yesterday was another great day at Villa Milagro. we woke up and shared breakfast in the morning and hannah pfeiffer led in our devo time. we then packed up and went to Monte Sion which is where the church and school is. there are over 175 children at the school. our craft team and some other spent the morning going classroom to classroom sharing crafts, love, and the story of Jesus. they also were taught some peruvian dances as well. don't tell pastor rick! the rest of us continued working on the sports court that we started on wednesday. we lined out and painted 4 different courts for volleyball and soccer (futbol). we also put varnish on A BUNCH of chairs for classrooms. our students worked hard and did a fantastic job!

after a wonderful dinner we spent some time worshiping together. justin mills led in our devo time and then one of the ladies who works here at Villa Milagro shared her testimony! POWERFUL!!! she just became a Believer 2 years ago, and it was incredible to see how God has grown her and given her boldness to be honest about her past and passion about her future. there weren't very many dry eyes in the room! it was a sweet night of worship!

today is our day at the university. so as i asked yesterday please pray that God opens up doors for us to share the Gospel, plant seeds, and reap a harvest if it is time. we trust that God will give us the boldness and the words to use! He is good like that!!

hope all is well in arkansas. our time here is going by way too quickly. thanks for praying and for the encouraging comments as well!

blessings in Christ!

Clay,
Love the updates! I have LOVED hearing about the testimonies of what God has been doing in His people in Peru. I am SO excited that you get to share Jesus at the University today. I will be praying for boldness that would intersect with Jesus drawing people to Himself. What a privilege and a blessing. I hope it will be an encouragement to everyone! Tell all of my girls that I love them! Meridy

Thanks for sharing!! Sounds like another successful day full of blessings for y'all as well as the people in Cajamarca. God is so good and I pray that HE will give boldness and courage to each of you as you share HIS love with the students at the University. I know y'all are having a great time but we miss you so much. See y'all next Tuesday!!
