Humility

Wow! After arriving home from Peru last weekend, I am so overwhelmed at the humility I experienced from the Peruvians.

Humility is defined as ‘a modest or low view of one's own importance.’

This was my 3rd mission trip, all to Peru and I continue to come home with peace and admiration of the humility I experienced while there.

This trip involved tremendous physical activity, none like I’ve ever experienced. The terrain was a variety of climbs and descents, littered with mucks of mud that the mules had created. At first I was thinking that even though it looks challenging, I was hopeful that it would get better. But, it didn’t. It got worse and it was every few feet, a challenge.

As I started across our first river crossing (walking on a log on the river bed), I was nervous and shaking. Then, all of a sudden, out of nowhere came this little Peruvian girl, Gabby, who took me by the hand and helped me across the log. Wow!

This scenario happened all throughout the trail. Andy, my hero, helped me numerous times crossing the daunting mud traps.

If you want to experience humility at its greatest, visit Peru.

I love the people of Peru, specifically the people of Olivos, Peru. Thanks to all of you who showed Jesus to us.
