Only a few more days...

Hello Friends!

My 10 weeks here are coming to an end. I cannot believe that it is almost over and on Friday I start my trip back to the states. Time goes by so fast!

This past week was our last time to go to Brazil and help our missionary friend. It was a very exciting week though! On Friday and Saturday we held a youth camp for all the local youth. Around 80 teenagers from any church, any denomination, or even if they did not attend church were invited to come and spend these two days with us. It was very busy and exciting weekend! I was able to lead and teach them a worship song in English. They were SO excited to learn English. Many of them came up to me afterwards wanting to learn more!! They were all given gifts of many devotional booklets, a bible, a toothbrush, toothpaste, and a washcloth. We ended the weekend with more singing and a bonfire under the incredible stars. It was the start of a new mission to reach the young people of this area.

Now we are back in Leticia for our last few days. We will be spending this week cleaning, packing, and recuperating from the last 9 weeks. I want to thank you again for all of your support!! It has been an incredible time here in the Amazon and I am going back completely changed. God has not only allowed me to be a part of spreading the His love to these people, but has also transformed me. I would not trade the lessons I have learned here for anything.

Please continue to pray for myself. and for Mark, as we end our time here in the Amazon. We have developed some amazing relationships here and it is sad to leave them. We will be travelling to Bogota, the capital of Colombia, on Friday and will spend Friday evening and all of Saturday there. We will then head to the states early Sunday morning. Please pray for our safety as we travel and that there will not be any problems with customs, our luggage, or any delays.

Thank you for being a part of spreading the love of Christ to the people of the Amazon! May God bless you in everything and continue to use you to reach many people around the world!
