Tuesday July 8

Yesterday we kind of just relaxed a lot. We had a lot of free time. We had a baptism service in the river which was really good. Tessa was talking about the change we wants and her desire to know Jesus. I cried a little. We had a lot of time for reflection and I wrote a letter to myself that will be sent to me in a few months. I am really excited about that.

I started reading "Through Painted Deserts" this morning and I need to finish it because it is Amanda's book . It got me thinking about why humans do the things we do. Like, why do we all love and hate no matter what culture you are from? Why do some people desire more from life? Why do humans desire sex? Why do we think some people, animals, babies are more beautiful than others?

Well, today we are leaving to go chill with the Real Life team (the other AIM team here, 18-22 years old, 2 months in Peru). I hope they are excited about it like we are.
