This last week some of our girls participated in a youth campout for Iquitos through the church. They left on a Tuesday and came back on Sunday. My sister was also able to accompany them for a few days –she came back early due to some food poisoning… I am not exactly sure on the numbers, but I would say close to 150 kids came from all over Iquitos –quite a feat considering there was an $18 entrance fee per person (which is a lot of money down here).
The days started early, 5 am, and then continued on until about 10:30 pm. The girls came back exhausted. They girls seemed to enjoy their time getting to know other Christians around Iquitos as well as feeling a closer connection to God. Here are some photos:
Here is a group shot.

A swim race in the pond.
Some sort of game. No idea, but it looks fun.
Last but not least, the bathrooms. They were just holes in the ground. Sarah could not get over it.
Here, Sarah got to take a photo with a famous christian musical artist named Evelyn (far left).
