Short Term Trip to Peru

Hi everyone!

I've been MIA for a while on the blog, but I have some good news. I'm looking into organizing a trip to Peru from June 21-30. I'll also be sending out an email this week, so please let me know before Friday if you're interested in going to Kusi (the boys home in the mountains) for that week. I estimate that the trip will cost between $1600 and $1800 per person, a portion of which is not for travel/living costs, but a donation that goes towards construction materials, etc.

On a personal note, life in DC hasn't been incredibly eventful. I've begun to help out with some ministries in DC and VA. I'm helping out with Daybreak, which is a great organization that works with kids in southeast DC, and I've also been working with the Hispanic Daylaborer and clothing shop ministries at church. It's been a good opportunity to continue hearing Spanish, but I also need to be working harder to improve my Spanish.

One thing that's been disappointingly absent from my life back in the states is the feeling that my whole day and the work I do is devoted totally to God. That's a feeling that was everpresent in Peru. So in that regard, I'm hoping to find a ministry that I can support full time, so your prayers are appreciated in that area.

God bless.
