Hey all :)
Again sorry for the delay, but after this one I'm back on track, and hopefully will stay that way the rest of my time in Peru, if the internet allows that :)
On thursday we went to Tamasyauco, which is another village close to Iquitos, members of the mission team from Eastminster, which I learned is one word lol, had been to Tamasyauco before, about six years ago... And we're interested to see how it was holding up, so since our work in Santo Tomas was done, we went to explore a little while in Tamasyauco.
We met the Pastor of the church and his family, they showed us their church and the attached sunday school building. We also visited the SCOTA school that is out there. After we finished our tour of the church we went around the city a little, we saw the local hospital, which is really more of a clinic then a hospital, we saw a local school, and we just wandered around, it was very interesting to see...
It really is like a mini Iquitos because they have roads, well as close to roads as you get around here... And they have motokars, and large scale markets and little shops where you can buy bottled water and other snacks :) the group really enjoyed their tour, once we were back at El Jardin it was time for a little nap for the interns... Lol I think both Ben and I are starting to realize that Friday feeling Pam always talks about... After a weeks work out in the sun you're pretty much exhausted but too bad because it starts all over again on Saturday :) lol
After our naps we woke up refreshed and ready for our last dinner and devotions with the group from Eastminster in Columbia SC, the final devotions was fitting and we all took a second to reflect on the relationships we'd formed and spirit we'd grown in a matter of days, I will say it was nice to see meet all of the members of this team but especially some of the younger members of the team, which included seven people under the age of nineteen :) it was nice to see their reactions, to share in their excitement and joy, and most especially to be encouraged by their never-ending energy... They were always willing to go and do anything from playing with the local kids, to hauling lumber, to putting up walls... they did it all, while smiling :) they were awesome and we're gonna miss them!!!
Well that's all forks :) stay tuned
