The Georges in Peru

All in a Day's Work

I was extremely proud of my puppet-course students today as they pulled out the stops for two little church plants in Cono Norte, Arequipa. This was their first performance and some of them were pretty nervous about it. The show went well, though not without a few glitches but the…

Congratulations! Sarah and Zach!

Sunday, Sarah and her husband Zach graduated from Wheaton College. Sarah got her degree in biology and Zach in chemical physics. They both plan on going to medical school after working for a year in Chicago. They currently feel led to return to the mission field as medical…

Experts in Demolition

The day has finally come! Our church is getting a new roof! The old one leaks and has holes big enough to temporarily blind the pianist (yours truly) when beams of sunlight hit his sheet music. The church saved up money for a year and a half to be able to pay for it. Today,…

The Reports of my Death are Greatly Exaggerated - Mark Twain

I haven't posted for a while. But I have a good reason. It seems I've been dead! I've been feeling surprisingly normal all things considered. It came to light when I tried to electronically file my taxes and it was rejected. So I skyped the Social Security…

This could not possibly have passed inspection

I was in Lima this week to renew my passport. While there, I visited the print shop that is making 5000 copies of a book based on Proverbs that is being taught in some Peruvian schools. After my visit I rode in a public transport van that was the most beat up that I have ever seen.…

What's your superpower?

Mine is Quechua. I speak a teeny bit of it and it has magical powers here (okay, theologically I know it's not magic, just go along with the literary device!). This morning we gave a ride to three girls that recently started attending our church. When we were dropping them off at…

Back in Line

Thankfully, we didn't have to wait in this line today! This is the office where Peruvians have to go to get their government IDs. Schools start up in early March (Paul returned to school on Monday) and many people wait until the last minute to get their kids' IDs renewed when they…

Open House January 27th

If you are in the Omaha area on January 27th, please stop by Christ Community Church for an open house! Feel free to drop in anytime from 12:15 pm to 2 pm in the accordian-door rooms off of the kitchen (D126/D127) to meet Mary Beth, hear about our ministries in Peru and get a couple…

It will take about an hour...

A missionary couple here in Arequipa is returning to England and their Christian-materials ministry had a lot of books left over. SIM is celebrating its 125th anniversary this year and we are hosting a big event next Wednesday. We decided to give each person attending a box of books!…

Quick Teamwork

I (Mary Beth) heaved a sigh of relief when I saw my friend Cinthya come to meet me at the door of the Christian school where I was supposed to give my missions talk Saturday afternoon. Running a bit late, I hoped I was early enough to get the needed materials onto the tables before the event…
