Fun on Campus

Every couple of Fridays the students will do something crazy just to have some fun. This past Friday, they decided to see who could dress up in the brightest colors. I was one of those who were chosen to pick out the student who dressed up the “brightest.” I must admit, they all looked quite horrible. However, in the end, we decided to give the reward to the one who looked the absolute worst. It was indeed a hard decision but someone had to make it and we gave it to the Carlos on the far left in the picture above.

Study, Study, Study

It seems that our entire lives now evolve around education. Jannett home schools the boys in the morning while I teach classes at the school. Right now, I’m wrapping up one more week of the Gospel of Matthew and preparing for First and Second Peter which will begin on October 5th. Also, the boys and I go to language school every day for two hours. It requires that we take a bus to the other side of town. I keep reminding the boys that I did tell them that we would be spending a whole lot more time together once we got here. Well, I didn’t mislead them. Needless to say, our days are full and our nights are quiet.

Never a Dull Moment

There is never a dull moment around this place. Every day the students get out of morning classes, eat lunch and play a friendly volleyball game. I guess it's a good way to stretch the mind after three s

olid hours of class. What's the old expression? "The mind can only take in what the bottom can endure!"

Spanish Classes

Please keep my boys and I in prayer today as we start our Spanish language classes. We will be going Monday through Friday from 3:30pm to 5:30pm. It's a pretty intensive course that lasts ten months. Pray that we'll be able to grasp the grammar quickly.

Also, pray about our transportation to and from the classes. We are trying to find a bus that will take us there every day. They are much cheaper than the taxis. For example, I taxi costs about seven soles ($2.35) and we can get a bus for one sol (.35). There are literally thousands of them. I don't even think the Peruvian's know where they are going. You just have to ask each one. I'll be doing a lot of asking this afternoon around 2:30pm.

God bless you guys and thank you for being a part of our ministry in Peru.
