This isn't news, since it happened two weeks ago, but the times when we have more interesting things to write about are when we are too busy to blog!
From June 30th until July 7th we had a theatre short-term team from Christ Community Church in Omaha come visit. You might be asking, "What does a theatre team do? I've never heard of such a thing." We hadn't either! But God made it work out wonderfully. Monday through Thursday, the team taught workshops on acting, set design, story-telling and choreography, preparing the Peruvians for a showcase in an auditorium on Saturday night. Everything went without a hitch and the Peruvians seemed very happy with the experience. Some of the more timid people got to experience going on stage and reciting their lines in front of a crowd for the first time. We think they learned a lot of skills that will help their ministries in the future.
Of course, a trip to Peru isn't complete without trying the local delicacy: Guinea pig!
Tomorrow starts the annual eye campaign. We will treat between 3000 and 4000 patients over the next two weeks. Lot of cataract surgeries and prescription glasses will be handed out. Paul is off school, so he will help as a translator.
