Church Service in Los Cantaros

The girls and I on Mother´s Day

 The little charter plane Matt had to take with the group to get to the jungle in Suriname. 

 Yes, that is a tarantula on the roof of the classroom Matt was in! 

 A view of some of the houses in the jungle of Suriname. 

 This was a building game that Matt and the group played in his training in Suriname.

 Matt slept here every night in the jungle! 

 Matt caught several piranhas during his free time.  He loved it!   

 A picture of a street in Lima, Peru as we walked to lunch one day. 

 This is one of the markets in Lima, Peru.  It was so much fun shopping there! 

 A very pretty building in Lima, Peru, all lit up at night. 

 One night we went to a park in Lima with lots of water fountains.  It was very pretty!

 The coast in Lima, Peru.  A place where a lot of people surf. 

 Mckenzie received her trophy in gymnastics for getting a certain amount of points. 

 My birthday morning!  Cinnamon was interested in my presents as well! 

The girls wanted to do a treasure hunt for Easter again.  So, since they are older, we made it pretty difficult to find the eggs. 

               Kaitlyn had to make a model of Narnia for school.  She did a great job!

 Mckenzie got lice, so we treated her, Kaitlyn, and me.  (Kaitlyn wouldn´t let me post a picture of herself)

 My sweet friend sharing with a group of kids where we were going door to door. 

 Here is the group getting ready to go door to door. 

 These were the houses we knocked on.  Very poor living conditions. 

 A group of kids who were up to trouble.  But, they really listened as a group shared with them. 

 We went to the mountains for Matt´s birthday.  Here is the cabin we stayed in. 

 The girls resting after walking in the mountains. 

 It was so pretty.  Trees everywhere! 

 A wild cactus growing in the middle of the trees. 

 We found a rope swing in the middle of the trees. 

                    Hang on Kaitlyn!!!!

 We found these flowers growing in the wild.  They were so neat!  They were even hollow in the middle like a balloon! 

 It got cold at night so we made a fire.  It was so nice! 

                     Last day before going home. 

 We had an event in the park with all of the national church planters. 

                    Playing games....

Most importantly, praying together in groups and sharing our hearts.
