The Peru Team is assembled in the lobby of Hostal Legas in Chincha ready to board the bus to Lima. We finished our ministry time on the work site yesterday by standing up the walls for the new ´casita´ for Grandma Marie. It was privilege to stand together with her inside the walls of her new home and have her share how much she was looking forward to the safety and comfort of her home that would be passed on to her children and grandchildren after she was gone.
We really regret that we weren´t able to post pictures for you on the blog ... our computer connection just wouldn´t handle it. But, you can certainly look forward to seeing as many as you want in the days to come. Phil led the charge with memory cards full of pics!
Saying goodbye to our Peruvian co-workers and new Peruvian families was done in typical upper midwest fashion. We think that there were at least 3 goodbyes ,... with handshakes, hugs and plenty of tears! Even our translator, Joel, got a Yellow Bear hug from Dave!
Today we shop in the Indian Market in Lima for warm Alpaca hats and sweaters ... (it will be kinda weird doing that in 80+ degree heat ... but we´ll probably need them when we get back, huh?
Our flight leaves Lima at 1:20 AM tonight (Sunday morning) and we will arrive in Atlanta about 8 AM and Minnepolis about noon on Sunday.
We´ve all truly had some life changing experiences here ... undoubtedly, none of us will ever be the same after serving God here. Part of our hearts will remain with Felix, Raul, Rafa, Lucho and Joel. And we´re surely bringing some of their passion for living for Jesus back with us!
We look forward to seeing everyone tomorrow!! Thanks so much for your thoughts and prayers and sending us to serve these beautiful people for the Glory of God!
Blessings from the Peru Team
