I really had good intentions to intentions of updating this blog with information about Peru and Tanzania, but between no new information on Peru, being sick the month of September, and the only Internet I have at home is via my iPhone. It just didn’t happen. I just don’t have any desire to blog via iPhone.This week after our Peru meeting, I finally had some information I could post.
Thursday, October 21—We’ll be visiting a child development center in Lima. There will be kids, and I will hug them. It should be fun.
Friday, October 22—We’ll visit a Child Survival Program. The Child Survival Program is for pregnant moms and their babies until the child is three years. In the evening, we will be celebrating the graduation of this year’s Leadership Development Program. Denaly, Woodmen’s LDP student will be graduating.
Saturday, October 23—Half of our team will be doing a worship workshop for Compassion churches in the Lima area. (I’m not part of that team in case you were wondering.) The rest of us will be playing with the kids that gather. The parachutes, beanbags, and beach balls arriving on my doorstep should be put to good use this day.
Sunday, October 24—We’ll be worshiping with a Compassion church in the morning and then going sightseeing and to the market in the afternoon. The goal on Sunday is to have more than 20 minutes in the market like we had in Tanzania. Too bad I’m the only one who knows of this goal.
Monday, October 25—Wednesday, October 27—These three days we will be doing service projects for three different centers in the morning and the hosting kids activities in the afternoon.
Thursday, October 27—The day we’ve all been waiting for! (Okay, well, you might not have been waiting for it, but I have!) This day, I get to spend all day at a place that’s “kind of like a zoo with paddle boats” with my precious Peruvian princess, Carla. I’m going to have a hard time not packing her in my suitcase, but I think her parents and her center might miss her. Friday, October 29—Post pictures to Facebook and update blog. Okay, well, I’m not going to promise that, but I’ll update it sometime.
Prayer Requests
- That the rest of my funding would come in. I have $465 to reach my goal.
- That our team would continue to bond and we would serve with one heart and mind.
- That I would continue to get healthy and have plenty of energy for loving Peruvian kids.
- That my day with Carla would be special and memorable for her.
