Monday With The Yaguas

We had a spectacular Monday in the Amazon jungle with the Yagua tribe.

We sailed down the Nanay River, a tributary of the Amazon River, and met the Yaguas in their native community, where we have built and established a church with them. We had a wonderful time together singing and sharing devotional messages and skits, and also watching the Yaguas as they performed their traditional dances and as they showed us their poison dart gun accuracy and prowess.

We also visited the Bora tribe, with whom we may be starting a church in the future, and then we visited a small, family-run zoo located on the banks of the Nanay River, where we were able to see and to hold giant anacondas which were about 10-15 feet long.

Thankfully, the anacondas were doped (with cigar smoke), or else I would not be here blogging about it!

On Tuesday we head down the mighty, muddy Amazon River for our baptism with the Yagua tribe. It will be our second Amazon River baptism in two years.
