Relationships over finicial gain....that was my lesson for the day. Going into a small peru village and seeing such smiles and such love on such poverty. AMAZING!! The people of this village have close to nothing to speak of when it comes to material but they have so much love for thier neighbors it is inspiring. I have been able to get to know some of the ladies here and have had so much fun doing so, Jeri Dawn, Maryand I are rooming togather and it has been one laugh to another. We finnaly got our laugauge when we got back from our work today. So many lessons in the lauguage not being with us. Of course there is the lesson in re thinking what is truely a need, but the lesson I am taking is it's not about just one of us it's about working together as a team, one of us alone can't do the job that the team can do together. This team has looked out for each other and offered supplies we were missing because of the laugage being gone. Of course there is also the lesson of patience, God will Provide but it may not be on your time. I miss my kids and my husband Doug, but I am having such a good time. I feel like God is truely giving back to me parts of me I have lost along the way and it's only the 2nd night, I can't wait to see what the rest of the week has to hold....
