WWVA & Gem State Come Down

Spring break time in the States means that we get some groups down here. Walla Walla Valley Academy came down doing construction projects and some work deeper in the jungle. They were also able to bring us down some amazing packages from family back home –woop, woop! Gem State Academy came down as well doing some local projects in and around the office, some medical work and a vacation bible school in a local community.

Kelly’s cousin, as well as his wife, came down with Gem State and did some medical clinics around where we live. On one of the days he took out two of my warts. What a crazy experience. He burned them out; meaning we all got to watch as he took an open flame to my hand. Thanks to anesthesia I felt nothing, but smelling my skin burning was disgusting. It was great having some fresh faces and family down here serving God abroad. Thanks for the memories.


Here, Eric is burning out my wart. If you look really close, you can see smoke...

Here, Eric decided to try some new, amazing fruit. Down here, it is called a granadilla. It would be in the same family as the passion fruit. It looks and feels like you are eating larvae, but it tastes wonderful.

It was wonderful having family down here. Thank you so much Eric and Angela for coming down!
