In the airport Mom, Dad and Carolyn had balloons, a sigh and a flower
WELCOME HOME BEKAH!!!

Just a heads up, because so much happened over the summer and me not having enough time to blog means there will be several more post to come.
So, to start... well I'm not quite sure where to. The Lord did so much this summer, not just in my life but in the lives of so many others as well.
Most of the summer I and 8 other interns lived at the orphanage. At the moment there are no children because Inca Link Peru needs to raise 150,000 in order to have children inside the walls and are currently at 60,000. Here is a video with more detail. A lot has been done on the orphanage, like painting, pouring concrete, leveling the road, and much much more. I had the honor of helping with these tasks and leading short term teams, who brought man power to do the same.
It has been a very long process to open the orphanage (Pasitos de Fe as it's called or in english Little Steps of Faith). If you could please join me in praying that the Lord will open this place very very very soon. It breaks my heart that there is a home waiting with open arms for children but there are so many blocks in between the children and their home.
Have been working endlessly to get this place open. Ignacio is the president of Inca Link Peru and Meylin is his beautiful little wife. If would please pray for them as well. Quite honestly they never have a minute to themselves because they live at the Pasitos de Fe and are always giving their time the orphanage. I was encouraged by the relationship they had with Jesus and how He oozed out of every part of the Mireles' lives. When we (the interns) did not have teams we would have devotionals with Ignacio and Meylin. (This became one of my favorite parts of not having teams). During those devotionals Ignacio would pour out wisdom and knowledge on us. Oh how I enjoyed working with the Mireles this summer.
To Ignacio and Meylin: Thank you Ignacio and Meylin for your hard work and for allowing the Lord to use you in Peru. I pray that He bless you as much as you have blessed others (which is quite a great deal). Amen
