Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing. Now we ask you, brothers and sisters, to acknowledge those who work hard among you, who care for you in the Lord and who admonish you. Hold them in the highest regard in love because of their work. Live in peace with each other. 1 Thessalonians 5 11:13

During Reflections, we had time to speak about the day or the day's events. It was a time of questions, sharing of thoughts and ideas. Below are some of the challenges and thoughts that we expressed:
- How could we get Sharon Presbyterian involved and excited?
- How can we express to the members of Sharon how it feels to travel to another part of the world?
- How can we share what we have seen?
- How can we help our members understand the hardships, struggles and poverty of other countries?
- How can we express the love and God's spirit that we have seen and received?
- We feel that it is important to return to Peru. How can we explain why?
- In the future, members from Huanta and Charlotte working together at another church that is in need.
- Sharing of prayer requests.
- Invite Huanta members to be missionaries to Sharon Presbyterian.
- Pray for those that made, gave and received the prayer shawls.
- The ability to view this blog in Spanish.
