Well toady marks only having 3 weeks left here in South America and I'm not sure if that is enough time. The Queens group has been a huge blessing to have here this week. They have all been working hard on the work site and have done a great job with running the children's programs. They have also taken on a whole new ministry by reaching the Chinese population in Trujillo. The group is from a Chinese Alliance Church and many of them speak Cantonese and have been able to use that to reach out the Chinese minority here. Most of the Chinese population here own the 'Chifa' or Chinese restaurants in the city. The team has gone around visiting the different restaurants and building relationships with the people and witnessing to the people there. This is an awesome opportunity they have to serve here and it has been fun to be a part of it even though i just eat the Chinese food and have no idea what is being said.
On Sunday I am going back to Lima to bring this group to the airport and pick up my last group for the summer. I will be in Lima though for almost a week because of Peru's Independence Day on Monday and it has been hard to get buses down there, so we are leaving earlier than planned. Although we have to leave Trujillo earlier with the group, I think it will be very cool to be in Lima for Independence Day.
As far as life here in Peru, things have been amazing and I really think it is going to be hard to leave this place. I am very connected with a lot of the locals here and am very passionate about the ministries going on here. On August 10th I will be heading back to Quito, Ecuador and I think it will come sooner than I think after my trip to Lima and being with another group. Please pray for me and I continue to work down here and I will let you all know how the trip to Lima was when I return.
