Our Last Full Day in Cajamarca

greetings!

i hope that this note finds everyone doing well back home. unfortunately our trip is drawing to a close as today is our last full day in Cajamarca. yesterday was an awesome day as we woke up early and packed an old school bus and headed off to the orphanage to pick the older children up to take them to a place called Porcorn Grande. basically it was a large farm with a zoo, picnic area, fishing pond, and creek. it was nestled in the beautiful mountains of Cajamarca. beautiful place! after we toured the zoo we then went and shared a sack lunch together before singing some songs, hearing Andy's testimony, and sharing the plan of salvation with the children. it was fun to watch the eyes of these children as they saw the animals, caught their first fish, and received love from our students. i have to believe that God was pleased!

after a short afternoon nap we ate dinner together before going to Monte Sion Baptist Church for the Saturday evening youth gathering. Jarrett and Christen did a great job of leading worship and Ali, Colby, Rachel, and Katy gave their testimonies. i preached for a little bit and then we played a game together. that was interesting! some of the college students that we invited on Friday also came, so that was pretty exciting. some had to ride busses all the way across town as well! it was good re-connecting with them and exchanging e-mails.

this morning we will worship with the congregation from Monte Sion and also share with them tonight. God continues to teach us great things about Himself and ministry!
