November 12th was our 2 year anniversary, so I suprised Alida. On Friday, I had flowers delivered to the house with a card saying ¨Happy Anniversary a few days early... but sorry you won't be here to enjoy the flowers because we travel Sunday morning!¨ So this past Sunday we traveled to Cuzco, Peru, to visit Alida's parents (whom we haven't seen since the beginning of August) & to just get away for a few days. Cuzco is the home of Machu Pichu (one of the new 7 wonders of the world). It's pictured to the left, although we won't be going to visit it.
While we're here, we're staying with her mom & dad in a small city outside of Cuzco named Limatambo. Here, in the midst of the mountains, Camino de Vida has an incredible orphanage & Alida's parents are involved in some of the oversight. It has a school, church, a clinic, a farm, workshops for woodworking & mechanics, 54 kids with substitute parents, workers, teachers, & the list goes on. What an incredible work they are doing here! We'll be posting photos later. Please pray for the work here. That God would continue to use this place to bless the people, the children of the area.
Tomorrow we'll head back to Cuzco for the day & night & then we fly home & get back to work on Thursday.
