~sailor and autumn getting in their yoga exercise~ |
Thankfully we made it back safely to Cajamarca, Peru later that evening. Thank you for the prayers lifted up for protection and safety as we made this journey to Ecuador. Lord, thank you for looking over us and for the time you gave us to spend time with our family. We are so thankful for the renewed VISAs to stay in the country for a longer period. Please pray for our long term religious VISAs and the process of obtaining them. Most importantly, we want to thank you all for the LOVE and encouragement that you have given our family as we continue to follow our Heavenly Father on this faith journey.
"So we are always confident, even though we know that as long as we live in these bodies we are not at home with the Lord. For we live by believing and not by seeing. Yes, we are fully confident, and we would rather be away from these earthly bodies, for then we will be at home with the Lord. So whether we are here in this body or away from this body, our goal is to please him."
~ 2 Corinthians 5:6-9
