The morning devotion was provided by Rose Boelke. "Panic Prayer Is Self-Centered". As a believer in Christ, you must have the faith to tell him "God I'm Your's".
As we completed our morning devotions and breakfast, we were visited by Samuel, Pastor Gaspar and Pastor Adrian. After a their short meeting with Sara and Randy, we had to say our sad good byes to Pastor Gaspar and Pastor Adrian. Samuel stayed with us a little longer. He traveled with us to Ayacucho.
We had just a few minutes until we packed a bus "to the gills" with people and luggage for our hour and a half trip to Ayacucho. The mountains were as steep, rugged and beautiful as we remembered and the bus driver kept us alert with an action packed traverse across the Andes. Soon, we arrived at our destination in Ayacucho, the Hotel Santa Rosa. We had a few minutes to check in, freshen up and then out again for a tour of the city. We had lunch at El Nino, visited the overlook of the city and the Presbyterian Church of Ayacucho.
After visiting the church, we had to experience one of the most heart breaking and tearful events of the whole trip. We had to say good bye to our friend Samuel Montes. Samuel has always been instrumental in the planning, leadership and decision making of the Presbytery of Huanta and our trips. To many of us... he is one of the reasons that we return to Huanta. We miss him terribly.
We returned to the hotel to prepare for dinner, evening devotions, reflections and then a early bedtime. We had a early flight to Lima the next morning.
