It is definitely not your typical Friday night in America right now in Huancayo, Peru. I am typing this as I listen to voices shouting downstairs and take in the aroma of dinner cooking right below me. It is seven in the evening in the month of May, yet a pitch black sky glares through the glass windows of Mr. Drum´s office.
(hiatus- come back saturday morning to finish)
thursday and friday ran the same schedule-wise as tuesday and wednesday did. we had an INCREDIBLE week. the team absolutely loved the kids that we worked with at the english camp, and they loved us just as much, if not more. many tears were shed as we debriefed around our family circle at night. we also returned to the orphanage thursday, another favorite moment. yesterday morning, we taught the estudiantes the choreography to the song "Joyful Noise", Jesus hip hop music by Flame and LeCrae. This dance is very popular in Athens at Phi Slam parties and football tailgates. I cannot wait to show all of our Athens friends the dance on video! it has been a truly splendid week with all of the kiddies and with each other. the Lord is really revealing a lot to each of us personally.
Yesterday afternoon, we went on a prayer walk around the city of Huancayo. It was then I realized that we were staying in one of the more affluent and safer areas of the city. We passed through lots of open-air markets. This was a fascinating, culture-shock scene for brunette North Americans and gringos. But it was an incredible walk, and we prayed with a Peruvian. I saw him from afar in our prayer circle by the city hall, feeling led to pray for him right then. So I did. As we were leaving, he approached us asking for money. We did not have any with us, but we prayed for him. He left with a Jesus Christo love encounter!
Last nights highlight was that we ate cow heart slices! It is just another piece of steak.
More updates coming tomorrow evening about this weekend!
