Life in the third world..

It has been a month since I have blogged and it seems like life here in the third world has changed in so many GrEat, BiG, God ways. 

School is getting harder but the language is becoming more natural and is seeming to flow. 

GOD introduced me to an amazing couple from the States that have been missionaries to Arequipa, Peru for three years(we met about two months ago). 

Lew and Mariesa Davis

The Davis' have many ministries and have allowed me to jump in and help! One of their ministries is running teams in from the States.  

February 17-25 I was able to work with a team from North Carolina that came to Peru to see lives changed. This team brought close to a thousand reading glasses and made it their mission to help people see not only writing on a page but also the words that had been written on their hearts.

I saw faces light up when they put on their new glasses and could read for the first time in years.

I saw hearts open to the word of God and saw many receive HIS precious gift.
I saw a team of Gringos and a couple Peruvians make memories that will last till heaven.


We held two eye clinics on Saturday in Arequipa.

We held three eye clinics at the coast(Monday in Matarani,Tuesday in Mollendo,Wednesday in Ensenada).

After receiving eyeglasses each person was told about the free gift of salvation.

The last two days we worked at the orphanage building, painting, sowing, and loving.

This past week, I started working at a "Jardin" which is like a Pre-K. This Jardin is non-profit and is held in a church. I am helping the pastor's wife in every way that is needed and practice my Spanish daily. The Jardin is from 8am-1pm and I have classes from 2:40-6pm. I am excited about this new very busy schedule knowing that God will be glorified!
