A lot of you know that we lived in Peru for almost one year while being involved in Christian missionary work. Unfortunately, we’ve only been able to share our experiences with a small group of people! We’ve posted a few experiences below, along with some photos so that you can learn more about our experiences and our volunteer work in Peru.
The people of Peru were an example to us of what it really meant to be happy. Some of the people that we visited in the smaller country villages were living many years behind the kind of life we were used to. For many of them running water was a novelty and electricity was a treasure. Many times we had taken those things for granted. Despite their living conditions they always had smiles on their faces. They were the hardest working group of people we had EVER been in contact with. They were up before the sun rose and didn't finish working until the sun went down again. Even in their poverty they were always generous towards us and always showed so much gratitude for the work we were doing. Even though many spent their days just laboring for survival, they were so loving and so grateful and so quick to open their hearts and homes.
