hi friends!!
yesterdays blog got cut short because of the internet.
our first clinic day in yontalo was amazing. i think we saw around 80 people. one of the sweetest moments was when I saw a little girl come grab Bobs hand and hold onto it while they walked around outside. genie was explaining that most of the little children here are in shock that "important white men" would take time from America to simply come down to Peru and play futbol with them. I think its amazing that people like Bob come to Peru and show these kids the love of God.
yesterday, I kept remembering all the times in the new testament where Jesus went to places that werent necessarily popular but he knew they were places that Gods work was being done. I truly believe sometimes the place I am needed MOST is the place where I am least likely to want to be. God calls us to listen to the cries of His people. I am so happy that I am with a group of people who all agree that this week we will NOT ignore the suffering that surrounds us.
sure, yes sometimes it would be easier to write a check and monetary support is certainly something that is necessary for our partnership with Peru. the kids at the clinic yesterday valued our time with them more than anything they recieved. they valued our genuine smiles and hugs.
more about day 4 to come later
