So we are up in Cajamarca and I got to say it is beautiful.  The sky is so crisp and the mountains are amazing.  It has been a challenging week nevertheless.  We have been adjusting to the altitude and trying to get settled into our apartment.  Classes have started and the work load is much more than I anticipated, but I am so blessed to be able to just spend time in Gods word growing in the grace and knowledge of Christ.

The first class the pastor opened up by saying that "we couldn't have come here on our own that the Lord brought us here"  How true is that.  What an encouraging thought that even though difficult times are ahead and things will be coming at us from every angle, by the Lords grace He has called us here and brought us.  All the trials that we are already facing and will continue to face is to build character and to conform us to the image of Christ.  The Lord loves an unfair fight.  When all seems against you that is when the odds are right for the Lord to show His glory.  How I long for His glory.  To see the Lord work.

The Lord has surrounded us by amazing men and women of God.  Though we miss our families and our home fellowship, the Lord is bringing alongside of us wonderful friends.  He is so faithful.  I am learning so much of the faithfulness of God.  I am experiencing it first hand.  Even when we are not faithful He is.
