As weird as it might sound, there literally is an Indiana, Peru. This town is located about one hour up the Amazon by speedboat. We made the trip in a slow barge type boat which took 3 hours. Kelly and I made the trip to surprise her cousin, Kaitlyn, who was arriving with Mount Ellis Academy. They were coming to provide some medical, spiritual, and counseling for a group of about 80 kids. The facilities in Indiana are beautiful. Check out this video.
This is an Adventist camp situated close, but private, to the Amazon river. It felt great to interact with people that spoke little to no spanish. It felt good to be able to translate a few things for them (my spanish is still in the woodworks, and I am by no means fluent). Kelly and I spent the night in hammocks because there was no room for us to sleep anywhere else. It was quite the experience!
Above all, it was good to see family down in the Joungle -our territory. Here is a picture of us and Kaitlyn.
