We are on our way to Bolivia to investigate our new country and we stopped for a few days in Lima to take care of some business. We are basically like kids in a candy store. It’s so funny how fast your perspective can change. When we came through Lima a little over 4 months [...]

Our First Foreign Thanksgiving
Posted in Uncategorized on November 26, 2007 | 1 Comment »
Thursday we experienced our first holiday away from home. Obviously they don´t celebrate Thanksgiving here, so it was strange to go to the store that day and find it absolutely normal, not crowded and out of turkey. All of us that were still in town met at the guys´ house at noon. All in all [...]
Our Job Assignment
Posted in Uncategorized on November 23, 2007 | 4 Comments »
When we first moved to Peru we weren´t sure what our permanent assignment would be or even what city we would be living in. All we knew is that we would be going through training first. We were told that we would be serving in the jungles of Peru to begin with but that everything [...]
We Graduated!

I am so excited to be writing this post from a computer and to know that you can see this tonight rather than 2 or 3 weeks from now. Tuesday night we officially graduated from training. We had to take a “final” earlier in the day which entailed a physical part, a story test and [...]

We decided to start having some guys over for dinner once a week, so we had four over this week: Hagler, an Aguaruna, Esrom, Aguaruna, Fausto, who’s from a big city in Ecuador, and Jesus, a Chiauyuata. Jesus is the guy I already wrote about who was in the last training and is now traveling [...]

Last night we all had the Lord’s supper together but it was very different than what we’re used to. We all brought food, which actually reminded me of something I’m very used to, covered dishes and potlucks. We started with breaking off bread and passing it around while someone read the [...]

Our assignment this weekend is different. Instead of working with Don Blas we are to try to network with churches around here and visit a service on Sunday. This is something we will do throughout our ministry. Tomorrow we will try to meet some pastors.
We were also given a little more money [...]

I’ve always been a skeptic about spiritual warfare. I mean, I’ve known it is a reality, but most of the time when people talked about it, I wondered if it might not be coincidence. But as we prepared to come here, I started to see obvious patterns of how satan tries [...]

I have heard that immersion is the way to learn a language but this is ridiculous. Trent and I are allowed to speak English when we are alone and sometimes the teachers speak to us in English, but other than that it is all Spanish. I have to admit, though, that it is [...]
How can I help?

I would prefer for everything on this blog to be Trent and Kay’s words, but I have felt burdened not to let this wait for Trent and Kay’s response. “How can I help?” This is a question we’ve been getting a lot lately and we are sooooooo grateful to those of you willing to help [...]
