A Time for Celebration

So over the past 2 weeks I have been working in Laura Bozo by myself. Other people have gone out with me, but I have done the majority of the work. My partner Nancy has been in her home town (Tarapoto) for a church function. During these past week I have used my Spanish & skills learned in class more than I ever thought I would. I have been leading classes, services, & playing games with children.

Something I have realized this week is how great the people in Laura Bozo really are. I have beomce rather close to the teens in this area. I have been leading their Sunday school the past two weeks. They not only helped me with my Spanish but also helped me to laugh through these struggles. They are wonderful women of Christ. And I know great things are are going to happen in their lives. That God has amazing plans for these young girls. It is funny to look back....I never saw myself working with this age group. I always thought they were annoying. But getting to know these individuals I know now that God has given me a passion to serve in this area. These young people are looking for guideance...they are looking for someone to support them...they are looking for someone to love them. And I guess I have the ability to do all three.



Looking back over July we have some much to celebrate for. To praise God in all he is doing in Laura Bozo. The first of August we had a special service here at the mother church (Iglesia Central). In wich all the churches here in Pucallpa came to celebrate the begining of the new month--And to celebrate all of the new believers of Christ. We had over 15 people come from Laura Bozo. We spent time praying, worshipping, singing, & spending time together. It is exciting to think what God will accomplish in the months to come.
