hey ya'll,
i'm back in Pucallpa. I got back on Saturday the 18th and i've been resting and recouping since then. I want to show ya'll all my pictures and i figured the easiest way to do that is to give you a link. so for those who are interested enough to look go to: http://olemiss.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2052486&l=cc410&id=6518921
i have lots of fun stories to share, but i'm not sure that i have the energy to type them all out right now. so for some highlights.
on the road there: the road was washed out and we had to wait for 6 hours while random Peruvians cut down trees and put logs in the hole for a makeshift "bridge". we slept in some hole in the wall place that night and woke up the next morning at 5 a.m. to finish our drive Burmudez...from there we took our boat to the communities.
Three accpeted Christ in the community of Campinas. God gave me a rainbow on the day that I taught Noah's ark. It rained every day the first 5 days. Mud was everywhere. the boat got suspended between a tree and the bank...then it partly sank....oh yeah..good times! Abuela --the grandmother in Campina--I love her!
San Francisco, the second community, had running water...well not like indoor plumbing...just a faucet...which is way better than washing your dishes with river water, by the way. The cutest old man in the world and his little dog came to church each day(with his worn out and yellowed New Testament). The word for the entire trip was "Barro" (Mud) another key word would probably be "moscas"--the nastiest biting fly ever that leaves little drops of blood after biting!
the drive home: one stuck cattle truck (and a dehydrated cow), one stuck log truck (and an "alternate route" to get around it), and 2 roadside stand chicken sandwiches (don't ask where the chicken has been...just eat it!)
that is enough for now. enough to keep you coming back for more anyways...i hope.
and don't forget to look at the pictures!! http://olemiss.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2052486&l=cc410&id=6518921 --CLICK ON IT! :)
i love ya'll!!!
