I see the light!

February 27th, 2008

Literally! Today, the sun is out for the first time in over a week. It has been rainy and cold for the last week, which I am told is unusual here. So, I am washing and hanging up a storm and getting ready to give the kids a hot shower fast. You know, the little things in life.

Yesterday we went to the monastery. That was interesting and a bit creepy at the same time. (Pictures) You really see how the people here, took their Inca “traditions” and idol worship and melded it right into the catholic church. Today we are going to a mountain park, so the kids can climb a mountain and see llamas.

We are all feeling great again, and getting into a feeling of normalcy. The kids have finally adjusted and finding “work” to do around the house. Their normal play they used to do at home, is now popping up here. I can get to the grocery and back fairly easily and we can maneuver around town in tekos and such. Just in time to go home. We knew that would be the case. We wanted to feel what it would be like to live in another setting. It allows you to appreciate what you have at home and be sensitive enough to pray for what God is doing around the world. Mike leaves for Chencha ( a very poor peublo hit hard by the earthquake) on Sat for a few days and then we are off to Lima. Please continue to pray with us that God will give us a deeper vision for what He is doing in our local context that we may partner with him more deeply.

Peace to all!
