A few of us returned yesterday from our visit to Perú. We arrived back home with a few lingering stomach issues, but nothing serious. Thank you to Sara Armstrong, Rebeca Massõn, Lucy Poma and Miriam Laura for joining us again this year!
All 16 of your donation bags with clothes, shoes, reading glasses, toys and crutches made it to Perú! A special thank you to Crews Walden for providing Spanish Bibles too.
Please keep in your thoughts and prayers Ashley Aldridge, Pat Blumer, Darby Buchanan, Rob Blumer and Chris Buchanan as they are still in Perú. They extended their trip on to Machu Picchu. (Apparently their luggage did not make the trip to Cusco...) All will be returning in the coming few days with more stories to tell.
Our work this year was again though Samuel Montes' NGO of Puriyninchic. In Ayacucho, we visited the VRAE II church. At VRAE II we sanded and varnished church benches. For the children, we sanded and varnished tables and painted chairs. This year's hit was tie dye shirts!
In the church in Maynay, we helped to paint the primer coat on a brand new sanctuary.
We thank Yesenia Montes, Darby Buchanan, Anna Vickrey and Taylor Vickrey for "taking control" of the kids. Thank you to Randy Ross for providing water balloon games, balloons, crayons, coloring sheets and beaded necklaces.
This year, we were blessed to rekindle old relationships and create new ones in both Ayacucho and Hunata.
More news coming soon...
