Wrapping things up...

Good morning from Peru!
The past few days have been a whirlwind! Here are some highlights!

We had two great days of VBS! Thanks for praying!

Here the boys show off their "honest lips"

Sarah helps one of the kids remember that

God looks at the heart and what should be in our hearts.

A marathon...not a sprint: Most of the time in the states we value speed and productivity, but in Peru, the process is the best part of the journey! 6 years ago, SLCA students laid the cornerstones of this school. Today, around 100 students enjoy classes in this building everyday. The bricks that they made this year will continue to add onto KUSI, the village that began right here.

Kierra helps the kids at Kusi
school with their heart crafts.

Yesterday we took a 1.5 hr bus ride up to Llanganuco,

a glacial lake near Huascaran.

PACHAMANCA: Food cooked in the ground!

Two little ladies from the school getting

ready to share some traditional dances.

Morgan and Olivia making bricks.

After being beaten by the Peruvians in soccer,

we decided to take them on in American Football.

A very interesting parade followed

by a fireworks show...don´t stand too close!

We hiked from Kusi to the CampoSanto in Yungay,

where 20,000+ people were buried by an avalanche/mudslide.

This bus was folded in half by the mud.

SLCA students, ready to come home =)

Today: Church at 10, spend time with the boys and say good

by Kusi in the afternoon, night bus to Lima (8hrs!),

sleep a few hours on the floor at the boys home in Lima.

Monday: Walking tour in Lima, eat lunch with boys,

shopping at MercadoIndio, dinner, night flight to ATL.

Tuesday: Flight from ATL to CLT!

See you all soon!
