Peru

this past week I got the opportunity to travel around the country of Peru

I feel so blessed to have gotten the chance to see the things we saw and do the things we did

during this trip I really feel in love with Peru 

(I wouldn't be surprised if I ended up back there someday)

Peru such a totally different place compared to home and even Chile

 words and pictures really can't even begin to describe it

there are places that don’t have running water or electricity

they still uses mules and cows to plow their land

kids have walk long ways to school on empty stomachs

or they may not even have the opportunity to go

the women take trips down to the nearest creek to wash their cloth

Peru is full of culture

It’s beautiful

It’s old

It’s full of poverty 

but the people their love their home

they take pride in where there from and who they are

I really feel guilty for everything we got to do and see

I spent my time in tourist towns and on buses 

I never once got the chance to step off the bus into those villages along the highway

I never got to walk around those small towns

I only saw the way they lived through a window

but it was through that window on those long bus rides

that God gave me the chance to really see Peru

He opened my heart and my eyes to a different side of life in Peru

and I hope one day He gives me the opportunity to return

and serve in the Sacred Valley of Peru 

over the next week or so I am going to tell you about my trip to Peru day by day

so stay tuned!
