The Georges in Peru
This will cure anything
One of the women from church was sick and hasn't come for a month so we went to visit her this afternoon. Her husband said he was worried that she was going to die as she hadn't eaten anything for 2 weeks; she just drank water. She is better now, but still not feeling great. A…

Rhea hunting

"I've been bitten by something!"
One proof that missionary life isn't without benefits is that mothers of small children can almost always afford a maid to help with household tasks. From 2011 until 2016, Adriana Choque was our house helper. She always had a gentle, humble spirit and was the person that really…

VBS Landing
Galaxy Express was a success with 15- 25 kids attending each day. We enjoyed having Teah, now known as 'Robot' to the kids, here to help out. She did a fantastic job even though her 'Spanish Language Module' was broken. It was a week of fun and learning and many of the…
