It's the weekend!

Hello everyone :)

Friday was school and then time with the kids. They had their Father's Day program, which was sad because half the school are orphans and so a lot of them were crying and I cried because my heart broke for them. All the fathers who chose not to be fathers. All the fathers who were too selfish to love on these amazingly beautiful kids who have blessed my life and touched my heart. All these kids who deserve to be loved and to know how precious they are in God's sight who don't know the love of a father. And for those kids whose parents have died, just breaks my heart. Afterwards Kevin and I took out some more of the kids for dinner. They had seviche, raw fish, I had chicken nuggets and french fries and it was one of the best meals so far!
And then afterwards I talked with the house mom's for a while, then watched the end of a movie with Jan, Cherry, and Gabby, and then I went back to my room.
Today we got the newcomers and the oldcomers, ha ha. New meaning first timers, old meaning returnees! Emily is 16 and she is my new found friend. The friend I was hoping and praying for while here in Peru. God has already bonded our hearts because we have so much in common and I believe with all my heart that He has great things in store for the both of us, to do in and through us with the youth!
These next 12 weeks, the youth are discussing purity at church on saturday's. I know God is asking me to tell my testimony. I just don't know when yet, but it will come before I leave.
Emily and I played a lot of basketball today. We had lunch with the kids, hungout with the grown ups, like 10 of them now. And then we went to youth night. It was a long but great day.

Hope you enjoy the video! More to come, as always!!
Much love sent to you from Peru! Keep me posted on how you are doing =]

"The real business of your life as a saved soul is intercessory prayer. Wherever God puts you in circumstances, pray immediately, pray that His Atonement may be realized in other lives as it has been in yours. Pray for your friends now; pray for those with whom you come in contact now." --Oswald Chambers
