Heya peoples! How are all of you back home? I am expecting many comments on this post as you can all answer that question. Just saying... So life here at ATEK has been really great, and tiring. As you most likely know, we had several youths show up here last night and had the great opportunity to serve them as well as the pastors here for the conference. Numbers here in Peru seem to be very similar to Peruvian time: loose. We were told that there maybe 90 pastors; 40 arrived. We were told 80 youth were coming last night; 120 showed up! We were extremely busy to say the least. Prior to our youth group adventure, those of us who had been serving here at ATEK for the pastors conference, took the day to go out and visit our brothers and sisters in Huanka Huanka. Danille, Kyle, and Pastor Bill had all been to the village before, but it was a new experience for Reyna, Rebecca and myself. It was amazing. The mountains here are unreal and such a testament to the greatness of our God. The village of Huanka Huanka was so beautiful as well! The people were so welcoming and were excited to show us around their village, the finished church that many of you may have worked on, and the new garden plots and plants that Bernadino (the agriculturalist). If you have never been, let me tell you, Huanka Huanka is amazing, and it is so amazing that we have had the opporunity as Beach Corner Church to be a part of God's work there. Before leaving for the drive back to ATEK, the President of the church in Huanka Huanka served us soup. I thought the soup was really good, but there was a point where we considered playing: "what part of the chicken is in your soup?" Well folks, we have had some busy days here, including some interesting driving stories that I am sure you will hear when we arrive home! Ask about how the Peruvians like to pass you on the left while you are turning left... scary. Buenos noches amigos! Estoy cansado (no casado para mi... en el futuro ;) voy a mi cuarto para duerme!
