Sorry all of these are being posted late... I'm trying to catch back up...
On Tuesday we went to the village of Santa Tomas, the columbia group bought wood and nails, so the could replace the boards that we eaten away by termites, they planned to spend two days in this village with these people forming relationships and building a church, and teaching bible school, it was a very cool little village unfortunately for us, the weather on Tuesday was not so cool...
I took the late arriving group back to the Butterfly farm to visit my crazy no shoes wearing lady :) too bad she was no where to be found and someone else had to lead us around the property, thankfully I've now been to the butterfly farm enough times to realize that I know the whole tour by memory, for example did you know there are over 135 species of butterfly indigenous to the amazon region but the Peruvian government only let's Pilpintuwasi bread 17 of them... After we finished our tour we headed to Santa Tomas where the rest of our group was already hard at work, hauling lumber
And we had to haul over a hundred pieces of dense Amazonian wood... It was quite a morning full of lots of sweating :) charming right lol, after we were all good and tried from getting all that lumber off the boat, and hauling it the entire length of the town 3/4 of a mile, we all collapses for a lunch break :) then it was time for a bible school prep session :) then bible school
The pastors wife Maria, taught her bible school about the creation story... Our craft was to have the children make a mini book of the seven days of creation showing what God made on each day... For example on the 1st day God separate light from darkness... And so on through the seventh day
Here are some pictures from our first day in Santa Tomas
