Today is my last full day in Iquitos, working for AMF... I fly out tomorrow, to rejoin my family for my next crazy summer adventure...
I have decided that I would break up the day 44 entries into subparts to cover all the things I've experienced, learned and discover this week and throughout my six week stay down here...
So part one will cover the amazing experiences I had with the Lake Murray Group, from Chapin SC. They were a small group five people in total... Which was a really neat twist because we got to know everyone a little bit better and we managed to have some pretty profound conversations...
Anyway as I told you this group is exploring the possibility of partnering with the First Presbyterian Church of Iquitos, and the church property sits right next-door to El Jardin, so we stayed pretty close to home this week working on the on site construction and doing yard work :)
Here are some pictures from this week :)
The group on their tour..

The sloth Jack :) free in a tree, behind the pastors house... If y'all remember he was living in Pastor clever's house as a pet, well he wasn't eating so they let him go and now he roams the trees behind the Pastors house :)
Us out on when of our many exploration/ ice cream adventures...
Us with the ladies of the rehab center :)
All in all it was an amazing last week for me down here in Iquitos, we put the Lake Murray group on their plane early this morning then, rushed through turnover, then I packed :( and later on tonight were going out for our last dinner together as a team... Were going to a restaurant that floats on the Itaya River :) and apparently has one of the best views of the city at night I'm super excited and very sad... But thats all for the next blog entry...
Stay tuned...
