I found the website for our hotel. It is in Spanish and English too. http://www.cristoforuscolumbus.com/index2.htm
Today in two weeks will be our first day of the medical clinics.
In reading through the devotional book "Prepare your Heart", I was really struck by the scripture Mark 10: 43-45 when Jesus is talking to his disciples when they were exhibiting a distinct lack of humility:
(Mk 10:43) Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, (44) and whoever wants to be first must be slave of all. (45) For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
I often get so busy preparing for the trip or preparing for the day, I forget to stop and think about how this "busyness" is not why I am going. I truly want for God to create in me a servant's heart.
In my past trips, I have truly come to love Peru and the people there. I pray that God will grow my heart even more to serve not just their physical needs but to serve as God's conduit for the good news of Jesus who will meet all their needs.
I am leaving early for Peru. This time next week, I will be in Lima visiting Veronica and family. I am so excited that I am almost packed already. I will meet up with the team when they arrive on the night of July 18. Then I will come back on the same flight with them on July 26th.
It is hard for me to pour out my feelings in this format but perhaps using this blog to chronicle our journey will free me from that fear too.
Please feel free to add comments to this blog. It is meant to keep you informed of our trip but it is also meant to be a collaborative effort with our friends and family.
