First week in Iquitos!

June 10th, 2007

So far so good, just wanted to let everyone know that things are going good here. I am loving the life in the jungle, from hot, humid, rainy, cloudy, green, lots of bugs, but most of all the ministry here.

Things have been good here, we have been looking at houses to rent, and hopeful soon we will find one so that living expenses will be cheaper. As well i am teaching the youth group, and just this past Saturday i started that. We will be going over the book of Philippians. Also at night we have been hanging out with the street kids, which has been cool. Such a great opportunity to ministry and share the love of Christ with them. And just hang out and have fun.

The church is doing good here, Pastor Jose has been doing a great job of feeding the sheep, and raising them up for ministry. I am excited to be working with him and Albert in the ministry here. And as well my friend from Lima, Tato which will be helping out here for one month. This has been good for me because i have been practicing my Spanish with him a lot and he has been learning English as well. Something we have been doing every night is reading a chapter in the bible for me to practice Spanish and for Tato english.

As the days go and i reflect and see what the Lord is doing and where i am at i am amazed and blessed to be here.

Some things to be praying for:

1. A house to rent

2. Youth group/the church

3. My Spanish

Thank you all for you prayers and support. As well i will be sending a more detailed update later. But i just wanted to let everyone know that things are going good.

Dios te bendiga,

Jeremias
