Leaving For Our First River Trip!

So I'll have to write way more about this later, but this picture (below) is me translating for Debbie -yeah be proud :) -  at a church we've worked with the past two weeks. The last couple weeks of work have been really great here in Iquitos, but like I said, I'll have to tell you all about it later because of my lack of internet time.

Basically I have a quick prayer request, but it's kind of a big deal. We no longer have a translator for this river trip coming up of 10 days where we will be doing multiple church services, evangelism, and a youth camp which means about 6 teachings in two days, all of which apparently I will be translating. I am not looking forward to that part. I know that my Spanish has grown a lot since I've been back here, but I do not feel in any way comfortable or capable of translating this much. I know that I need to have more confidence in my ability, but this isn't just me being nervous, this is sincerely a HUGE responsbility, plus the rest of the responsibilities of being a leader on top of that is a lot of pressure. I'm pretty terrified.

Please please please pray that either YWAM Iquitos will find someone today or someone that can meet up with us later... or that God would just crazy bless me with words I never knew before.
Other than this, we are indeed leaving on our first river trip so it will be a new experience for the team and we'll be digging our first well! Please also pray for safety, team unity, and that we would be willing to let God use us to spread his light in dark places!

I'll update when I get back to civilization! Peace out till the 19th!
