My mind is blown
So I've been doing my work now with out a peruvian partner for like about a month now and I was worried that I would not be able to do as good as a job as Jorge being he is still in his own country and being that its his language he is speaking. But let me tell you God is so awesome!! I have seen such an awesome improvement in my work. I mean about 5 new contacts in Oropesa and in Urcos not having any contacts before he left and now having about 6.. WOW!!! My mind is blown. Please continue to pray for the awesome work God is doing here in Peru through ordinary people like your self.

The BREAK Fest Club
O man were do I start?
Well December 28th we/ Beth Beers, Cailyn Stevens, Tyler and Amy Liebelt and I were getting ready to make some pumpkin pancakes as we were talking about a bunch of random stuff. Then Beth and I remember about the night before. We had heard a massive boom that was louder than a normal fire work right by the house. Well we were asking everybody if they had heard it last night. That very second another boom went off, it was at least twice as loud as the one Beth and I were taking about . This boom shook our entire house. Now let me remind you all my house is 3 stories and made out of thick concrete, so when I say this boom was loud it was loud. But any way we all run out on the balcony and see our neighbors 3 house down has smoke billowing out of the top. As we see this we see a woman running toward to explosion and seeing something as she gave out a shrieking scream. So Tyler and I grab first aid kits and ran as fast as we could over to the house. As we made our way to the door to enter into the compound there was already a crowd forming around it. Tyler and I make our way in and were shocked by what we saw. A two story house blown to pieces and a body of what was a woman on the ground covered with a blanket. We checked to see if anybody was hurt just a boy with a cut above his eye that I cleaned out for him. Not knowing what els we could do we returned back to the house and shared that a 45 year old woman had died and that we should pray for the family, so we did. Please also be in prayer for them. (If your wondering what the explosion was they were fabricating fire works and Im guessing there hole stash blew up)
Puerto Maldonado
So Tyson and Tracey Smith are some awesome people please be in prayer for them. But any way the just had a baby in Arequipa and there house in in Puerto Maldonado. After having there beautiful baby boy they found out that there house had flooded and not just any rain water but like swig/ poop water. There house and all there possessions were most likely covered with poop water. So Tyler decided to go and give a helping hand for a week.
Here are some pictures of the flooding.
This is there bathroom.
This is Tyler and I in the tub filled with the blackest poop water ever.
This is Tyler and I dumping what was in the tub of black poo
Me in the water hole trying to get the poo water out.
So one of the days we were in Puerto we decided to get the city to come and dig a canal or some kind of ditch to drain the crazy flooding in the street by the house. Because it was like this
So they came out and tore up the bridge that was there and made the canal bigger. Than they left with out fixing the bridge. So Tyson, Tyler and I decided to make a new one. Now keep in mind we are building a bridge that big trucks drive over, so you can imagine the difficulty of it. So as we are digging a man comes over saying if we cant get this bridge built then he is going to cave in the trench that was made to have the flooding drain because he needed cars to be able to get to his business down the road. So he started to help us build the bridge. As we started digging again a man starts yelling in my ear and tyler and I have no idea what he was talking about but turns out he had been trying to get the city out there to build a real trench made out of cement for a long time and he was just mad at them and he also started to help. A few minutes pass by and a 3rd guy comes. Now let me tell you this guy was mad, M A D mad. He started screaming at all of us then him and the 2nd got into it and it got pretty heated. So long story short the 3rd man shoved the 2nd guy into the poop water and picked up the shovel and threatened to hit him. We calmed him down and he ended up walking away threatening us that he was going to reck the bridge we were making. But we made it and it is jungle strong let me tell you. Here is a picture of what we like to call the money bridge.
But please join me in pray for The Smith's thank you all and God Bless.
