We leave today for home, it feels so strange to say that! Sorry that I haven´t updated this in so long, I`ve just been having so much fun in Puno! It was very hard to leave Conima, especially the children considering that they were holding onto my shirt begging me not to go! We have had so much fun in Puno and have been staying at a really nice hotel which is a nice change! We took a tour of the floating reed islands, that was awesome! Yesterday we went and saw some Incan ruins, tombs of their ancestors. The food here is so awesome too! I have to admit that I am excited and ready to be home, especially since I`ll only be home for two days before leaving again! We will land around noon tomorrow. Please be praying for our safety!
-Love in Christ

Swimmin´ in Lake Titicaca
Sorry that I haven´t been writting much in my blog lately everyone, its not because a lot hasn´t been going on...its because so much has been going on! No, but really! I am back in Conima...I came back wed. morning. It feels so good to be back, I missed this place! God has really been working here, keep praying everyone! I can´t believe we leave Monday morning for Huancane for two days, and then Puno, and then home! I have so many mixed emotions, its ridiculous. I´m excited to go home to see everyone but I have honestly fallen in love with this place. Its going to be especially hard to leave the kids, for us and for them. Yesterday was a series of let downs...we had three storying dates with people and they all got canceled BUT Jeremy L. and I got to go story with the police officers this morning. I told them the story of Noah and the Ark and Jeremy L. told them the story of the Ten Commandments and then Kelsey and Jeremy L. are going back at 5:00 p:m to story with them again! We are also storying with Sophia tonight and Armando at the English lesson. And then at 7:00 p:m we have group storying and Pablo (on of the construction workers here) is telling Peter´s Sermon tonight! It will be his second time, God is really working in him. Everyone pray for Pablo! Today has been crazy busy, we have to finish the race strong! So yesterday we totally went swimming in Lake Titicaca with some kids. Actually it was the Jeremys, a bunch of kids, and me. Heather and Kelsey waded in the water but they didn´t want to get soaked. It was freeeezzzzinggg but so freeing! I´m off to prepare and pray for this busy evening, you should do the same! Pray for us that is! Keep Emily in your prayers as well...she has a doctors appointment in Lima today.

Peru as of lately
The FBC Willow Park team left Sunday, we were all really sad to see them go. They really lifted our spirits. I don't even know where to start, things have been kind of crazy lately. Well Kelsey and I painted a bunch of the girls nails on Monday, that was cool. I ended up puking a lot on Sunday night and Emily has been sick for awhile now. So we had to go to the clinic in Conima on Monday. John Grady ended up coming to get us and he brought us to Huancane yesterday. We spent the night here last night and then got lab work done today. It looks like I'll be headed back to Conima tomorrow. Yeah! Emily still isn't feeling well so be praying for her. I'm suppose to story tomorrow but it's been kind of hard to memorize my story with everything thats been going on so pray for that too. Sorry this blog is so short, I have no motivation to go into detail. I'll update this week with more detail!
