Mission Peru

by Elisha Suderman

Yesterday was an amazing day as WLA went to the children's daycare. We were able to have 2-3hr to play with the kids. There was one little girl in particular who was 6 years old who was by my side the entire time holding my hand not wanting to let go, you could tell all she wanted was love and to be cared for. 

Even though there was the huge language barrier, we didn't really need to talk as we were just able to laugh, play, smile, hug and just by looking at one another enjoying each others presence which was an awesome experience to have had. Just to have spent a few hours together and already blowing kisses to each other. 

It was crazy to see how even though the kids don't have much and the meal they get at the daycare is usually the only meal they receive for the day, they are so filled with joy and happiness just by little things like us "gringos" showing up for the afternoon with crafts and games and just love and care for these kids. Yesterday was a very humbling day and really opened my eyes on how lucky we all are and how we take so much for granted. 

I just want to thank everyone who is praying for all of us we appreciate it so much, and for those who are reading the blogs and sending different verses it is very encouraging to knno all of the support we have. I love you all!
