Beware of what trail you're on!

One of the things I really enjoy when we visit Nueva Luz village is hanging out with Laureano, one of the few believers among our dialect of Asheninka. It has been a joy to come alongside this man and disciple him in his walk with our Savior but also to learn many things from him. He's an expert hunter and I always enjoy hunting in the jungles with him. He patiently teaches me the ropes of how to hunt in the Amazon rainforest.

On one of our hunts in Nueva Luz we were returning to the village and we were following this "trail" that wasn't super distinct. Laureano wanted me to go first so that I would possibly have a good shot at something along the trail. At one point I thought I was following the trail only to suddenly notice that Laureano wasn't following me. I look back and he motions to me to indicate where the proper trail goes. Once I get close to him he matter-of-factly informs me that I was following a jaguar's trail. :) OK, you probably don't want to be doing that!
