I'm in Peru! The flight down here from KC all the way to Pucallpa was about 10 or 11 hours with a layover in Atlanta and Lima. I miss home so much! My brother sent me a bible verse today that really helped me out. Psalmos 112:7,8 It helped because when the doctor, dr. mathews, who is our supervisor, went over the duties and his expectations of us, they were extremely high. I doubted whether or not I could perform the necessary tasks to succeed here as a student missionary, I was scared. But this verse was perfect because it reminded me that my heart is secure in the Lord and there is no need to fear for anything. :) God is good.
While I'm here I will be working on a dental team pulling teeth and I will also be a community ambassador who teaches English, Music, and Art. Any ideas are more than welcome! Unfortunately, before I left the states and was unable to get all of the money needed. Southern's missionary office is amazing and is helping me out, but if you could help that would be great! I only need about $1000 more to provide a stipend for living expenses here. Email my mom at cchristensen@saint-lukes.org for more info.This morning we got very excited because we found a muffin pan. Cant wait to get muffin mix in our next care package! God bless and be with you!
