Friday morning

From Jennifer--
Our last morning in Peru. Everyone is looking forward to our return to the US but are leaving behind new friends, rich experiences and the miracle which is "Villa
Milagro". All have enjoyed meeting Larry and his wife Joy and all of the Peruvian team.

Yesterday was packed with many patients in the town of Jesus. We walked through their market at lunchtime but no one wanted to take home any chickens, tire sandals or straw hats. We came home tired but all of the young folks still had enough energy to have a face-drawing art lesson from one of our artists, Sue Coon. After lots of harassment of the teacher, a few "students" had produced a portrait.

Thanks to everyone for praying for us while we have been gone and we will arrive back in LR on Continental flight 2996 at 11:52 AM, Saturday morning.

Dios le bendiga, God bless you.

You are all on your way home to loved ones as I write this message. Thank you for giving my Mother, Sue Coon, the opportunity to share her gift in a foreign land. What an experience to add to her quilt!
And thank you for the blog and the flight information. God bless and keep you all safe on your journey. Catherine
