Hi everyone!
Just wanted to let you know we arrived this morning in Pucallpa, the city in the Amazon that we travel out of to La Merced. We had orientation about La Merced and the Agua es Vida (Water is life) program at the Food for the Hungry office with our good friend Luis, met our translators and cooks (Paola, Zeke-yes, he´s back, David Shika-the crazy one, and Jesus-our constant fabulous chef), had a late lunch together and took the afternoon for some much needed rest after a very late arrival last night and early flight this morning. We´re adjusting to the heat by sweating alot. I realized a couple of hours ago that my ankles were turning into cankles, which sent the women of the team into panic, but its just part of the fun. Haha. Anyway, we are doing well and eagerly await traveling to La Merced in the morning for a Welcome Ceremony and community tour, as well as hang out time with children and families.
Thanks for all your prayers as we travel and get settled. Please pray for Sam as he travels all day through the night Sunday to Monday to meet up with us after standing up in his sister´s wedding today. May things go smoothly for him.
Hasta pronto!

ReplyDeleteLaura, what are cankles?
Audra, we are missing you. Take in every moment. We cannot wait to hear about how the Lord is working in and through you. We love you and are so proud of you. Be sure to take your malaria meds! : ) Take a lot of pics!
We're praying for all of you!
Great to hear you've made it to the jungle. We'll continue to pray for safe travel and good health.
