An Interesting Encounter with a Critter

By on Track: Medical Region: Latin America

So originally, I was going to post a much different blog than this, but an interesting turn of events happened last night. So, I’ll post my more serious blog next time and for now I hope you enjoy a good laugh.   Living in Peru has taught me a number of things. When I first arrived in the jungle I was shown again and again how out of my element I was. Each time I started to feel like I was getting the hang of things something would happen and I would be reminded of the fact that this is not my native habitat (i.e. lizards in my shower, termites in my walls, you get the idea). I have… Read more >>

FAQ Welcome to my TED Talk

By on Track: Medical Region: Latin America

Hey Everyone! This month I decided to go to the people and see what they have been wondering about my life here in the amazon jungle. I asked my friends on facebook and my supporters for any questions they had about my life here, my ministry, or just things they want to know about Perú.  I put the video up on YouTube so just click the link below. Hope you enjoy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPzZuo2Qifs If you have any other questions for me let me know and I'll do my best to get back to you! Read more >>

Serving As Jesus Did

By on Track: Medical Region: Latin America

Hello friends! I hope everyone is doing well and finding time to enjoy small blessings in this busy time that is fall. It’s kind of funny, fall is a time I have always associated with hectic schedules and very little down time. But here in the jungle it’s pretty much the opposite. The travel season is winding down and now we are starting to settle into life in San Ramon. I’m not going to lie, after so much non-stop movement over the past two and a half months it seems strange to have so much free time. But Jesus is meeting me here in this quiet space just as much, more even, as when my time… Read more >>

A Taste of the Jungle

By on Track: Medical Region: Latin America

Hola Amigos! I have officially been living in Perú for 6 months! Its amazing how fast time goes by when you’re trying to adapt to a new culture and experiencing so many new things! I moved to the jungle last month and it’s been like a whole new world here. I’ve had to learn all over again how to do life here in Perú. I thought I would give you a little look into life in the jungle and my ministry. SO, here is a list of the things I have experienced since moving to San Ramon. What I’ve done in the jungle (so far): Moved into my apartment Met the ants also living in my apartment Gone to the… Read more >>

Speaking English all weekend felt weirder than I expected

By on Track: Medical Region: Latin America

Hola Amigos! I hope you are all doing well! I wanted to share with you the amazing opportunity I had last weened to go to an English Immersion camp. For the past 3 months or so I have been helping out with an English class/bible study twice a week. It is such an amazing ministry and it has been so encouraging for me to see how the Lord is working in this city. Many of the students who come are not Christians but they continue to come because it is a free English class. Every week I am amazed at the insight these students have about the bible passage we are reading, even if they don’t have a… Read more >>
