Today we traveled the markets with Pastor Richar. Unlike past trips, we only were shopping for basic medicines for the Yagua. In the afternoon, we went to their version of Home Depot to purchase some extra tools for the construction work. The weather was incredibly mild and very pleasant. We woke to heavy thunderstorms but those passed after breakfast.
We thank God today for good conversations with Pastor Richar and Pastor Leopoldo on how we can continue to partner our efforts in the Amazon basin.
Tomorrow (March 15), the departs Iquitos and travels to Pebas. The goal is to visit all 7 of the villages that we have been discipling. Pray that even though our time will be short in each village that the Yagua will feel our continued love for them. We are bringing Bibles, song books, t-shirts courtesy the WBC Wild Worship and medicines. We will be out of communication until Tuesday afternoon when we return from Pebas.
Please pray for our safety as we travel including protection from diseases. Pray for the team as we have yet to endure the severe heat of the Amazon not to mention our first exposure to the vast variety of insects that will be seeking to sustain nourishment from us!
Also pray for continued strengthening of our relationship with the Peruvians.
Thank you for your prayers. God has blessed us tremendously thus far and we are anxious to give Him the glory.
A Dios Sea La Gloria!
I am looking forward in hearing all about the way the Lord made himself known. It’s so exciting when being used. I will continue to pray that there is no illness. Can’t waite to hear Stacey’s version of the trip. She always makes me laugh. Remember what goes on in Peru stays in Peru…except you can tell Shauna.:)
