Garbage Dump, Amazon River and More!

God is moving among us...wow, overload of the senses and spirit as well.

Wow, what a crazy blur the last two days has been. On Friday we spent the day at the garbage dump with "the least of these". These are the kids and people that no one is there for. They live their lives on the dump and pick through garbage for food and items to sell. We were able to speak to a group of 20 women that we invited to our meeting by walking through the dump. Connie shared her testimony and if you haven't heard it, you should ask. In the afternoon we had 75 kids in a 20X10 room and we were able to play games with them and love on them. Words can't describe the sights we saw or the things we did...hopefully some of the pictures do justice.

On Saturday we spent the day in the market and then on a 5 hour Amazon River boat tour. We went into part of the interior and saw the people who live along the river. Kids would kayak next to the boat in hand made rafts and people would throw gifts at them. We then at on an island and swam in the Amazon River...again, words can't express.

Continue to pray. God is moving among us and hearts and lives are being changed.

Here are some pictures for you to see what we've been up to...even these don't do justice, but they are better than my words can express:
