Great day

Evening debrief
What a great day we had today. We started the morning with a great breakfast with good coffee and then went through orientation type stuff with Mark Davis our leader. He gave very interesting statistics for the area. Currently, the IMB has no presence here and are relying on WWCP to oversee the area. There are 50000 unreached villages within 500 miles of the river where Mark is set his aim. Our goal for this trip is to help start six churches. Please pray for us in the task.
Our kids are doing great. We've had no sickness or "mental" breakdowns. The food has been wonderful and everyone is eating good. We have walked mostly, but today we got to take a motorcycle taxi back to the hotel...very fun. Taylor and Sarah got to go across the Amazon in a boat this afternoon and see a village that Mark is currently trying to start a work in. Everyone in the group got to witness to someone today except Sarah and every group saw at least one person saved (one group saw 16 people accept Christ)!
Pray for us that God would continually give us strength and that our unity would persevere. All of these kids are acting like they do this everyday. God has definitely had his hand on us so far. Thanks for your prayers and enjoy the pictures!
