Leanne and I have been in Arequipa for over a month now. We have been living with a Peruvian family in their spare room and participating in their daily lives with them. It has been a interesting experience to learn how a typical Peruvian family lives and eats etc. Also this month has been filled with our language school, which is a necessity for the work that Leanne and I will be doing. So September definitely can be considered a month of learning, exploration and growth.
We also have been having meetings with our Mentor Scott about the project that the three of us (Scott, Leanne, and I) will be leading in Cusco. This event will be build a living area for the 40/40 missionaries who will be living in Cusco for two years doing Church plants. Also to kick off excitement and curiosity in the community about the Nazarene missionaries who will be coming. After a few of these meetings we have come to the conclusion that it would be useful for Leanne and me to get our feet wet in one of these projects before leading one! There for we will be in Puerto Maldonado from October 22- November 4. This is a jungle so it will be very different from the mountain city of Cusco. I hope my Canadian body will survive :) WE are very excited about this opportunity and would love your prayers. here is more info http://www.extremenazarene.org/City.aspx?ID=4.
I hope this little update keeps all of you my friends and Family and informed! Thank you for the prayer and support! It truly is a blessing!! Also I love updates on each of your lives.
If you could pray for:
For our trip to the Jungle for protection and learning as we will be leading one of these advents soon.
For the non Christian Family we are living with. Also for better communication with them.
Thank God for all of the safety and health he has provided for us.
Also a side note if any one would like to get involved with our event in Cusco we are still looking for workers!!
God Bless!!
Thanks!
Alyssa
