The Georges in Peru

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from the Georges!

Family picture from the scenic lookout above La Punta (Ben, Mary Beth, Allen, Paul and Mia)As we finish this year 2022, we want to wish you a (belated) Merry Christmas and Blessed New Year! We had the joy of having 3 of our 4 kids with us in La Punta de Bombón for Christmas! Ben had to…

More Excitement than we Need

We haven't written much because our excitement/free time ratio has been very low. That changed last week when the president of Peru announced he was dissolving congress and congress immediately impeached him. (kind of like highschoolers breaking up: "You can't dump me! I'm…

Birthing Piglets

Life is an adventure. The pastor’s wife, Rosita, and I (Mary Beth) went for a run down to the ocean this morning. We touched the water just for fun and after we got back, we went to visit one of the ladies in our running club who had really wanted to come but couldn’t make it…

Ladies Running Club!

Mary Beth has been taking advantage of the fact that she had surgery and can run easily for the first time in her life by running frequently. She even started a running club with the women from our church. They usually run 2 km. Pray for other women to join them as an opportunity…

Three Boxes Left Over

When we bought our house here in La Punta, it came with most of its contents. The previous owners live in New Jersey and obviously couldn't take all of their things with them, so we bought the house 'as is'. That means that we had a lot of duplicate items that we needed to get rid of.…

Recuperating

It's been nearly a week of my wife doting on me. I've been doing my best to not lift over 10 pounds as directed by my cardiologist. I've been feeling better and better as well. Yesterday, I felt 100% normal 99% of the time. We drove from Crete, NE to Fargo, ND, with a stop…

I Love Technology! (and my wife!)

Yesterday's heart ablation went well! I'm recuperating at my sister Alice's (and Keith's) house while Mary Beth waits on me, since I'm not allowed to lift more than 10 pounds. I didn't sleep very well last night (despite being sent home to a quiet house) as I still have a lot of chest…

Who do People Think We Are?

We’ve lived a short time here in La Punta and as some of the only white-skinned people in town we kind of stick out which gets small town folks curious and wondering who we are. It’s been interesting to see/hear about people’s first impressions: Who do people think we are? …

A Growing Church!

We've had a very encouraging week! This morning we had 17 people at church, if one counts all of the kids and the two people that came after the service was essentially over! We met one of the families as we were out for a walk. We were chatting and told them that we had…

Arrived in La Punta!

Tuesday we decided to rent a house while we wait for the house we'd like to buy to get its paperwork updated. A contact we made when we went to La Punta two weeks ago has a house to rent, so we took a YouTube video tour and told her we'd take it! (see below)Wednesday morning we woke up a bit…
