Some fotos from July and August
It was such a beautiful day. After 4 or 5 days of unexpected rain, with the air clean and sky full of billowy clouds, we had a wonderfully warm day.
Isabella turned 7 months on Sunday, the 10th. She loves her daddy. Now that she is bigger, she is so much more fun to play with!
Looking over the city of Cusco
Sunday church service, Luis played guitar with Ricky. He played so well, Ricky was so proud of him. Jorge and Janet, Luis' parents were rightfully proud as well.
Luis, watching his fingering. He is using the church's new guitar, a generous gift from the Christian Church of Thousand Oaks in California. Thanks guys!!
On the 28th of July, Peru celebrated its Independence Day. And for anyone who is wondering, the rainbow flag here is not because Cusco is a "diverse and tolerant" region, if you know what I mean. This is the flag of the indigenous peoples of the high plains, of the Andes. They are peoples of the mountainous regions of Peru, Bolivia, Argentina and Chile. This flag represents their peoples. It has a beautiful representation, not quite perverted the way it is in the U.S. nowadays.
We love the open air market, empanadas from the huge adobe mud ovens, and the Cuy castles. Isabella loved watching them scamper around.
This girl is always happy. We are blessed.
The children are encouraged to lead the group in prayer. This is Brian. He is not afraid to stand up in front of 50 or 60 kids and lead them in prayer. They are developing a relationship with Jesus that will last a lifetime!
Here I am teaching the children using the "old" method. I remember learning this way during Sunday school 20 years ago! It is fascinating for these kids. Although old, flannel graphs are a wonderful teaching tool! Thanks, AGAIN, to the church of Thousand Oaks for their generous gift. They must have had this from years ago, but it was still in almost perfect condition. With hundreds of figures, this flannel graph set is amazing! Again, thank you CCTO!!!
