Back from the Jungle

Hey we made it back from the jungle!!!! At some points i was not sure if we were going to. This trip we took supplies to dig a well, but that could not all fit on the YWAM boat so me and two other guys went on a launcha two days before everyone else. It took us twenty four hours to get to the town, so we slept in our hammocks on the boat. A launcha is a big boat that they use for transportation and shipping, it is three stories tall and is not to fast. I had a lot of fun and it was great to relax. We dropped the well dinging supplies off at a village and slept in their church that night. The next day we went to the village where Luis, a student in the DTS is from. About three hundred people live there we stayed there for a few days doing outreach and preaching. Then we went to a bigger village called Santa Rita. about two-thousand fivehundred people lived there. We did outreach there for four days. We did door to door evangalism and had kids programs and services. On the last night we where there they had a stage set up for a big party the night before and they let us use it. We did all of our dramas. I think we reached a lot of people who would not have come to church otherwise. Then on monday went to the village to dig the well, it was really flooded. It started out well, but then we started having some troubles. The well kept caving in and it ended up that we could not finish it. YWAM has to come back another time and try again. I am sort of disappointed but at least they will get a well sometime. Then on tuesday we started to head home but the motor was not running to well. Finally it stopped working and we where just floating on the river. A big storm came and the waves got rough.... we made it back safely so it is all good. We had some difficulties, but that should always be exspected. God protected us and it just took long to get home. We are leaving for Lima next tuesday and tommorrow we start classes, Clark is teaching us. I will try to get our itinerary. Thank you for your prayers. Love Christopher
