Oi! (Hello!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wow today was so amazing and full and exceeded every possible expectation but let me do a quick recap of yesterday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We arrived late last night in South America and we ate probably the best steak I have ever had in my life!!! Seriously the best ever! We then headed to hotel around 12am and everyone was exhausted from traveling and had full bellies so going to sleep wasn\u2019t hard!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We woke up this morning and got to hear the most beautiful testimony from a graduate of Hope while we ate breakfast at the hotel. (Side note, best hotel breakfast ever.) His story was both inspiring and also eye opening to the situations of lots of the children here in South America. I am reminded of how God can truly turn any situation for His good!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We then went to a drug rehab center. This was something that I am so thankful I was able to experience. Our team experienced lots of different realizations during this time. It\u2019s crazy how much sin and hope are intertwined at this center. To see the devastation of drugs on the streets of South America in one look and then to turn and see the hope of Jesus and how He transforms lives in the next. The staff at Christ Landia were amazing! We fed meals to the people on the streets and got to have great conversations with them. We worshiped with both people in the rehab and also people that just walked in off of the streets. So beautiful! After this we danced with the staff and said chao!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We then went to the Cathedral and it was so beautiful! Our fieldworker then ordered us these amazing juices and smoothies! We also got samples of lots of local authentic dishes (so good!) After this we headed to the airport and headed to our next destination!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are now at our new home for the week and the team is so beyond excited to meet everyone tomorrow!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please be praying for good rest tonight and healthy bodies for the trip! We also are asking for prayers that God will open doors for us to share the gospel!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you all for supporting us, we wouldn\u2019t be here without you! Chao!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
