i should have mention this sooner but i forgot. all the peruvians who are our translaters (we dont have one of course) but they all say yall and are like addicted to sweet tea. they also love mash potatos and gravy. if that doesnt make you feel at home i dont know what does.
i feel extra good today idk why.this weekend i just rest up alot and we went to see this big statue of jesus on top of this mountain right outside of lampa (thats were we live). theirs not much to do around here so we get frustrated of doing nothing quite often. i started to befriend some of the locals to pass the time.theirs one young man who i invited to our bible study in lampa (which we will start this week).i think he may step up to lead around here. hes from another town but hes here doing humanitary aid around the villages (not real work just research). today we went to see pastor juan to see the how things are doing in their church and decide what day we were to meet. mondays will be their day and he said that his church is doing fine on bibles and so next week will be our first offical meeting with them. he said that his church has lost alot of people due to economical problems. most of the villagers our moving towards the bigger citys to make enough money for their families. after that we went to juilaca for some supplies. great news someone donated some money for bibles. now we just got to wait for the money to get down here.
i dont think its a good idea to send care packages if you could see how far it is and the mail system isnt the greatest...aka i havent seen one. yall maybe able to call us and send us stuff ill put it up the address and phone number.

JORGE! take a pic of austin holding a paper saying "Happy Birthday From Peru" or something and send it to me somehow so i can print it out and give it to my nanny. it would mean alot to her its her 80th birthday and since he cant call her that would be the next best thing. plus i want to put it in the scrapbook im making her :) my mom supposedly told austin but he hasnt done it and i need it this week her birthday is tomorrow but by friday would be great!! gah i miss you guys take care!
Poor Drew is going to be so loaded down with food when he comes, he probably won't be able to get through customs lol :) You both are in my prayers at random times throughout the day. It's funny how that happens. Almost always when I first wake up then at odd times. Keep the news coming. Love the pictures. Is it brown everywhere? The pictures look like it.
Much love,
Bev
