Last week, we visited several people on the East Coast. Lynn Tanner was a gracious host and was our tour guide for Washington, DC. As we approached the capital (under renovation) there were a bunch of booths promoting Peru! I found a group that looked like they were dressed from the mountainous areas and I spoke Quechua to them. They didn't seem surprised at all. They must think we all speak Quechua in America!
We are Allen and Mary Beth George from Nebraska and Manitoba respectively. Allen has been serving in Peru with SIM since 2000 when he arrived with his late wife, Amy. Mary Beth has been serving in Peru since 2005. Sarah & Zach are both in their medical residencies in Chicago (Sarah in emergency medicine and Zach in family medicine). Ben is working for Ahlstrom-Munksjö in Taylorville, Illinois. Mia is in her 2nd year studying physical therapy at Loma Linda U. in California. Paul works as a programmer at Epic in Madison, Wisconsin.
The Georges are church planting in Punta de Bombón, a town about about 6000 people on the coast of Peru.
