Day 2, Peru Team Extreme

On our previous day our translator Jerry discovered that a group of youth was heading to the higher peaks for a camping trip. We were invited to come up and have a talk with them.
We awoke early and found that our horses were ready an hour early. Off we headed without breakfast or even coffee for a 3 hour ride to the top of the mountain, an area named Marcahuasi. Along the trail ride we were able to witness to our trail guides. These were amazing women who trotted along with us on foot as we rode the horses.
At the top we were treated to spectacular views, clean air, and a closeness to the earth. It is humbling to see God's creation and know that He created it with a spoken word.
We viewed some of the ruins and headed to a secluded grassy area where the youth were camping. Jerry has a true heart for evangelism and is very eloquent is his presentation of the gospel. We planted many seeds among the youth and our prayer is for them to take root.
It was then time for our decent from the mountain top.
After some rest and food we were ready for our bible study. There was a funeral that evening also and turn out was low.
