Peru!

Currently, I am sitting in the Los Angeles International Airport, waiting to board my flight to Lima, Peru in about an hour. I can't believe it's finally here...it still seems a bit surreal.

I spent Monday and Tuesday this week working, then spent the day on Wednesday packing, I spent Thursday with Joseph (we went paddleboating), and then came Friday. First of all, I honestly think it is humanly impossible to pack a bag under 50 pounds for two months. I spent almost four hours on Friday trying to get my bag under 50 pounds, and only by a miracle of God did it somehow get there. I'm not going to lie, I was slightly frustrated. BUT. It made it :) I had a final farewell dinner with my family, and then arrived at the Youth Missions International office in Tacoma at 9 pm to have some preparation time before leaving for San Francisco at 2pm today. And now, the long awaited final flight to Peru is here!

I am so excited to go and see how God is working in Peru, and help in any way that I can and that He allows me to :) I praise the Lord for my travel safety thus far, I have had very minimal flight issues, and found all of my flights (though I was slightly lost in San Francisco, but thankfully found my flight 15 minutes before it took off). I am so thankful for this opportunity and how the Lord has provided for me. I have been blown away by the prayer support from my family, friends, and church, and I am SO very thankful that I have such a family behind me. I know God is going to do mighty things through the next few months, and I cannot wait.

I would just like to ask for prayer for continued safety until I reach Peru, as well as during my stay in Peru. Also, just prayer for the ministry of YMI Peru and that God will bless their efforts as they seek Him and His glory, and purpose to make that known. Thank you so much for supporting me through this, and I will try to keep this blog updated as often as possible.

And I will leave you with this: "But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you and you shall be my witnesses in both Jerusalem, and in all Judaea and in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth" Acts 1:8

Hasta Luego!
