Humble Thyself

Edalo came today. He is such a humble man. After 8 hours of traveling from the jungle he made it to Iquitos Peru. When I saw him in the office I knew he would be staying the night. He always does. I offered him some day old supper, which the rest of us had neglected eating, which he gladly accepted. I had pointed to the microwave indicating that he could use it to warm up his food. He peeped in at me a moment later and asked for assistance in operating the microwave, which I gladly did. After finishing the food he gave me a hearty handshake and thanked me for the delicous food.

"To be humble and meek like this man is something to live up to, not to look down on." -Andrew

Welcome to Peru

I'd like to welcome you to Peru. You are the 97th person who I have had the pleasure to greet, well at least I think that you are. I have actually lost count, but I know this is close. I am thrilled to let you know that after your two week stay here you will never be the same again. Try to understand, we all come here to serve others, and we do, but at the end of your stay it is almost guaranteed that you as a person will grow a tremendous amount. Patience and kindness should grow inside your heart. I hope that you enjoy your stay. -Andrew

It is such a blessing to see so many people working for the cause of Christ. I am thrilled to see so many peoples hearts turned towards God and striving to show others what it is like to live under God's rulership. Sometimes I have days where I feel that I am not succeeding in this mission, and then I see others do similar work and I realize that we all are demonstrating a little more of God's love. Today is the day to show the world that we love God. For some of us this means moving out of our traditional comfort zone. For some of us this means having a more positive attitude. For some of us this means respecting our elders. For some of us this means loving our spouses or partners with all our heart. For some of us it is meditating on God.
