Peru Mission Trip: Days 11 & 12

As the planned ministry is on the decline, I find myself extremely ready to be home.  I fight to continue to remember that we still have tracts, we still have The Word, we still have a Story to tell.  I tried to make the most out of every opportunity but, admittedly, I'm so ready to see my family.

We toured the Chan Chan Ruins near Trujillo.  The intricate detail they put into the designs is amazing!

We visted the ocean, which I have seen before, but today it was if the Lord was giving me a gift in allowing me to see it.  So often I see something, think it's beautiful, and then completely dismiss it.  I know I need to take more time to allow Father to amaze me with these beautiful gifts... enjoying His sunset, hugging His children, loving my gift of a husband, and sitting at Father's feet just SOAKING HIM UP!

We also went to the Indian Market in Lima.  I bought too much stuff but only one thing was for myself so I'm not gonna sweat it.  

I continue to spend much time meditating on the Word, His teachings, and in prayer.  A new friend and I got quite the chuckle realizing that we were both very nervous about how we would get along and in the end we were nearly inseparable.  I had the same fears about going with a team that had six teenagers and lo and behold, I fell in love with their awesomeness!  Isn't that how God works?  We think something or do something in our own power and He swoops in and says, "Hey there!  You remember I'm in charge, right?"
