This past weekend, the 30-31 of July, we had a youth retreat with the San Jeronimo Church. Three weeks ago the youth leaders and I had a meeting about whether or not we should continue with the retreat because only three kids had signed up to attend. However, like many latin-based cultures, the last minute is always the more productive. We ended up with 27 people on a property that only really housed well about 15. The leaders were excited and encouraged to see that many kids attend. Here in Perú, youth ministry is targeted at ages 10-25, so there is a bit of a difficulty at reaching them exactly where they are.
Nevertheless, I think we had an excellent… Read More…
Rachel’s started going to a Kindergarten here in our neighborhood. I call it that because they call it a “Jardin” – the Spanish word for “garden.” So, it translates well.

Rachel turned three on July 3rd, 2010. We had a birthday party for her with lots of friends, a piñata, birthday cake, presents and decorations. If the kids weren’t so content to play with toys and eat candy, there would have been games too – but they just weren’t… Read More…
The Anaconda is a none venomous boa and is the world’s largest snake. It lives in the jungle regions of South America. The green anaconda can grow up to 17 feet. This one was only about 12′.
We took a trip to Pucallpa in May to visit from good missionary friends (The Listros). It was a nice vacation to one of Peru’s largest jungle cities. It was hot and humid as expected, but a nice change from the cold and dry that we have here in Cusco. One day, a few of us took a small boat trip to an island. The boats are long and narrow and called “pecki pecki”… because that’s the noise they make. The island hosted a… Read More…
