My Parents' Visit to the Amazon

Last week was a great time of relaxing and enjoying the company of my parents. It was great to see them after almost an entire year of being away. We enjoyed a few days exploring the Amazon jungle from a lodge. We also got to visit a number of different projects that Scripture Union has here in Peru. Below are a few pictures to tell our experience.

Canopy Tour Zip Line -- After a 120 foot climb into the canopy, we got to zip-line and rappel back down!

Swimming in the river with my dad and with the pink dolphins!

Dad caught a piranha. He was happy until he realized that they were going to kill it and cook it.

Arriving to Iquitos

In Iquitos these grubs are a highly sought after snack.

This frog tried to escape, and it ended up attached to Mom's leg. I wasn't sure if the frog was going to end up in the water or if my mom was.

Also, I just wanted to take a chance to make you aware that you can now sign up online for recurring donations to support me and my ministry here in Peru. Hopefully this new tool will make the process of signing up for monthly donations a little bit easier. All you have to do is click here to go to my missionary profile page on LAM's website. From there, click on the "support this missionary" link, and follow the instructions. Please prayerfully consider participating in this ministry through your financial support.
