From 2012 Perú

Monday: August 10

Our first full day of work. Everyone was doing well (health wise). The only complaint we had were those pesky bug bites. MAN they would bite and itch (for days).

The morning devotion was lead by Phyllis Action "Just Let It Go". Words that we should all live by. Also, Randy showed that he thought of everything as he pulled a McDonalds bag out and proceeded to give everyone ½ & ½ for their Peruvian coffee and he even brought Texas Pete for my eggs. (What a guy)

Samuel Montes took control of the bench construction and gave us directions on how to proceed. We had a wonderful, clear sunny day for us to begin work on our 100 benches. We made good progress and by the end of the day we had about 50 benches assembled and 20 of the 50 sanded and painted. We had rain again in the afternoon so we had to carry all of the painted benches inside the sanctuary for the night.

It was wonderful to be back. I didn't realize how much I missed everyone in Huanta.
