today we visited emma and had a real good convo with her and pablo just threw the gospel at her and we could tell it really made her think. so pray that she does think on it and has more questions for us and that she eventually accepts the Lord. we also met virginia´s husband today. he´s been away working. and we invited him to Bible study on Monday, and he asked if we could come over tonight to study the Bible with them. so we did! and they were full of questions and just hungry for the Word. it was really encouraging to us and great for them too. so pray for them and the Bible study on monday and that we have more people come.
tomorrow is saturday. we´re gonna go help this little girl shepard some sheep at like 9 in the morning. nervous! then tomorrow night we´re gonna get good chicken and fries and then go back to the room and pig out on candy and cookies and coke. sooo excited! oh! and the jehovahs witness lady told us shed make us pizza for lunch! so maybe that´ll work too!
keep those prayers up people! they´re working!

Vilcas update
We´ve been in vilcas for 6 days now, and they´ve been pretty great! yeah, i miss home, and all of you writing on my facebook wall telling me to come home, know you made me cry! :P no really although i miss home, vilcas is great! God is definitely doing great things!
the first couple days we had the Creative Ministy Team here with us. they were great and drew lots of attention and shared some cool stories. We had Bible study with a dentist with thim several times, and after they left, we were able to meet with him again! sadly, he left for Lima yesterday. oh yeah..
yesterday was dumb.we had plans to meet with several people and NONE of them happened. we were back in the hostal at like 6:45. it got all our spirits down. i did beat sudoku several times on my iPod. i´ll be a champ before you know it! We just stayed in prayer all day and tried to keep busy studying the Bible and reading our trendy Christian books we brought! (mine is Lord Teach Me to Pray by MacArthur incase you wondered) anywho, it was real sad. we were asleep by 9!
however today has been GREAT we went to emma´s (a lady i met last time) and chatted and the first thing she asked was what´s the difference between us & jehovas whitness and is there a hell? yea.. intense. but she did chat and cook us lunch and we picked peas for her.
on the way to her house we found the doctor that i use to meet with last time & he was wayy excited to see us & invited us over to study right then! so we went after we left emma´s.
then we tried to have a children´s time, but none showed up, so we went looking for some girls we played volleyball with earlier this week, and they invited us in their house. we sat there for like 2 hours and they cooked us spaghetti. granted, the two hours of sitting was awkward, the food was good, and that was a very sweet notion on their part. we got some good conversation from them and hopefully we´ll get to go hang out again tomorrow. we didnt get to play volleyball today cuz it rained! and its FREEZING cold right now. me and jenna are gonna get in the word (the bed and the Bible) after this and get warm and eat sublime (sublime is their version of hersheys. it´s legit).
yes, right now, we are freezing, and the little man in charge of this joint just yelled "senorita, es la hora!" therefore, we must get off the internet soon. i responded with "media hora mas!" so i got a lil more time!
keep praying for us. that we stay warm and that this cold that is trying to invade my body will be overpowered by prayer and the decongestants i´m taking! pray for opportunities to share with more people, and that we don´t miss any opportunity. pray for wisdom in choosing which stories and books of the Bible to share in our meetings with people. Personally, pray that the Lord humbles me more and more every day, and that my desires become His. Pray we keep high spirits for the next 24 days here and have safe travels going back to Lima!
I´ll try to post before then, but I´m not making any promises, because it´s cold and costly to be on here! thanks guys! you´re the best!
