My Life as a Missionary in Peru: Medical Mission in Iquitos
http://laurabensonperu.blogspot.com/2010/02/medical-mission-in-iquitos.html
My Life as a Missionary in Peru. Medical Mission in Iquitos. Posted by Laura Benson. On Monday, February 1, 2010. We had some serious cases of Chicken Pox, high blood pressure (high enough to be hospitalized), diabetes, anemia, hernias, and other things. It was awesome to get to share God's love to these people just by helping them with free medicine. By the time I was done my brain was incredibly worn out! But it was pretty cool to see that my Spanish really is progressing. How amazing of a God we have!

My Life as a Missionary in Peru: Chocolatadas
http://laurabensonperu.blogspot.com/2009/12/chocolatadas.html
My Life as a Missionary in Peru. Posted by Laura Benson. On Sunday, December 20, 2009. A big thing here in Peru is to have what is called a "Chocolatada" for kids. It consists of hot chocolate and "Paneton" (like a fruit cake but much tastier) and games and music or whatever else. The hot chocolate is not your typical instant stuff from the states. It is condensed milk, water, and chocolate all cooked together in a HUGE pot over an outside fire. And after all that. I need a NAP! He Will Carry You. Create...

My Life as a Missionary in Peru: Jungle Stuff
http://laurabensonperu.blogspot.com/2010/03/jungle-stuff.html
My Life as a Missionary in Peru. Posted by Laura Benson. On Thursday, March 4, 2010. I crawled into bed one night and found a frog in my bed with me. The other night my friend Brad woke up with a mouse partway in his mouth. The next day my friend Nancy woke up with a mouse in her bed. I have eaten cow stomach soup, and soup with a whole fish in it (eyes, tail, bones, scales). I found a grasshopper bigger than my hand. Our family in Pucallpa had a tarantula in their house.

My Life as a Missionary in Peru. A "Welcome" Back to Iquitos. Posted by Laura Benson. On Tuesday, January 18, 2011. I arrived back in the Jungle on Sunday night at about 9:30pm and made it back "home" around 10pm. I was very ready to go to bed and sleep for awhile after traveling for 18 hours and missing a night of sleep. However that wasn't going to be so easy after all unfortunately. We spent all day yesterday hardcore cleaning and fixing things and everything is pretty much back to normal. I have ...

My Life as a Missionary in Peru. Posted by Laura Benson. On Sunday, August 8, 2010. A lot has been going on lately. and since I've been so busy the posts have been slacking! Sorry about that.

My Life as a Missionary in Peru: Love Extreme
http://laurabensonperu.blogspot.com/2010/06/love-extreme.html
My Life as a Missionary in Peru. Posted by Laura Benson. On Sunday, June 20, 2010. So I know. I have been a horrible blogger lately. I'm sorry for that! There is so much to say to "catch up" with the past few months. However for now I'm not going to go back to that. For now I just want to share one cool story from our Mega Event called Love Extreme that we had yesterday in Arequipa. What an awesome way God used you to show His love to a child of His who so desperately need to know His love! Katie Anderso...

My Life as a Missionary in Peru: October 2011
http://laurabensonperu.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
My Life as a Missionary in Peru. Posted by Laura Benson. On Tuesday, October 18, 2011. The work has barely begun in Bellavista and we already have very strong numbers coming to our services. I have faith that this will be a large and strong church, both in numbers and in faith someday soon. It is a huge weight off of my shoulders to know that there is someone who will continue to work and grow that church in Bellavista. In His Love, Grace, and Mercy. Foster Family - Loving Extreme. He Will Carry You.

My Life as a Missionary in Peru: Living in Community
http://laurabensonperu.blogspot.com/2010/08/living-in-community.html
My Life as a Missionary in Peru. Posted by Laura Benson. On Monday, August 23, 2010. I’d like to try and paint a picture of where I live here in Iquitos. And in that hopefully show a bit of what it means to live in community here in Peru. Something that has definitely been a new experience for me! We live on what we lovingly call a church “compound”. I personally wouldn’t mind having some privacy every once in awhile, but the majority of the time I really do love living in this community setting...
