Crazy

Things are starting to be kind of crazy around here. There is so much going on that at times I feel like I'm starting to lose my mind. In less than a week we have about 50 summer missionaries coming in. They will do immersion in Lima and then we will all go to a camp for an orientation for a few days. Then they all head out to their places on the mission field. During that time we also have groups coming to take the summer missionaries to their location. We needed a total of 14 translators during that time and I was really wondering where they were all going to come from. But God really provided and we have all of our May translators taken care of. During that time I will also head out to Arequipa to take the ESL team to their apartments and stuff. We will also travel to Puno to do some work and then to Santa Rosa to check the area out. I think when I get back from that trip I'm going to sleep for two days straight at least! Please pray for me and the rest of the REAPsouth team as we are trying to get all these logistics and everything else straight. This is the busiest we have ever been by far!


The other night in class, one of the newer translators shared a testimony with us. She recently worked at a ski resort in New Mexico or something like that. She just returned about 3 weeks ago from the States. She found out about us because she met someone from Mississippi who I believe had worked with REAP in the past. They gave her our contact info and told her she should come to our english classes. Well she came and now she is one of the translators that will join one of our summer teams for a few weeks. Last night she shared how she felt like this was an answer to her prayers. She said she had been praying for God to show her what to do for four years, and she felt like this was His way of answering her. It was awesome because she was such an answer to our prayers as well. We had been praying that God would provide missionaries for us...and He did. He sent Angela in a round about way from Peru to the States and then back to Peru again. I just loved this story and I am so excited about getting to know Angela more in the future.
