Really! These are happy kids!


Sarah thought that it would be a nice reward for her Sunday school class for learning their memory verses to go to the zoo!  I thought eight would show up.  Instead, we had 16 kids and 10 adults go with us to the zoo yesterday!  They had a great time, though this picture might make you think they were miserable. In Peru, one doesn't smile for pictures.  It's just not what you do.  I was even scolded once, while getting my picture for my driver's license, to not smile! 





Luckily, boys are less obedient to social norms and they smiled for their picture!





It was a great time for building unity in the church beyond Sunday church services.
