Village Visits are V(f)inished.

We visited two villages today.

We completed our visit in Aucara’ which we had began yesterday. Our research papers that were given to us a couple of months ago told us about “people of peace” that were helpful during the research team’s visit. I remember reading the one about Aucura’ last August when we were learning about this strategy because it referred to a “lady of way too much peace.” I found that to be funny. Well… you would guess that she was walking up to the municipal building at the very moment that we pulled up in our vehicle. Fortunately, Kristen and Jamie recognized her immediately. We had quite an adventure with her and learned about the village all at the same time. She did fit the profile that was given to her!

We then traveled to our next village of Andamarca. We were able to meet with folks at the hospital, a church and an assistant to the mayor.

We will leave Andamarca early in the morning with the hope of reaching Lima tomorrow night. We will have about 14 hours of travel. It will be a very long day but it will give us a good time with the leaders in Lima to discuss our trip. We fly home at 6:25a.m. on Friday morning (have to be at the airport at 3:30 a.m.) so we think it would be best to get back to Lima tomorrow instead of Thursday afternoon. Please pray for us as we travel.

I’ll try to post again when we get into Lima and hopefully send some pictures from the villages.

Thanks again for your prayers!
