"It's like America, but South"

How many of you remember this quote from the movie "Up"?.  Do you remember young Ellie and her adventure book?  

We frequently quote this to each other as we laugh about the cultural differences and ways of life here in Peru.  And during this past year, we have been filling the pages of our adventure book as the Lord has led us through many varied experiences and challenges.  

And in 2 weeks, we will be embarking on a new adventure.  We are coming back to Santa Cruz for a 5-week visit!  We are VERY excited to be coming to visit family, friends and our church.  And at the same time, we are experiencing some anxious thoughts and moments.  It has been about one year that we have been living here in BaƱos del Inca.  We love the way of life here (well, most of it!).  We love our ministry and our new friends and church family.  And here in Peru, 5 weeks is a LONG time. 

 We will be leaving Cajamarca for Lima on February 19th, spending the night in the airport, and then leaving Lima for San Francisco on February 20th.  Please join us in prayer for our upcoming travel and our time in the United States.  We are looking forward to seeing all of you in the U.S.; visiting and catching up!
