Last Friday saw the 3 of us bidding farewell to the Language school. (It´s hard to believe that 2 months have gone by so quickly!!) Each time a student leaves, the school has a 'Dispedida' (farewell), where we eat empanadas, share 'thank-you' gifts and listen to a farewell speech in Spanish. We were no exception, the 3 of us gave our speechs and told the teachers how great they were...we also made some 15's which seemed to go down pretty well with both the teachers and other students.
With a bit of extra time over the past few days, we have been able to use it to help with the various projects in both the church (Pepe and Jardin- schools belonging to the church) and Latin Link (Shalom- Latin Link school)
We head to Puno tomorrow for 5 days to help out with the Christmas Project. Each year churches back home send money to be used in the Sunday schools in Puno. Lourdes Brew heads up and brings clothes for the kids, kind of like a reward at the end of the year and as a special Christmas treat. Its also a time that is used to encourage the Sunday school teachers in the great work they do.
Pray for us
- as we adapt to the change in situation
- as we get more involved in the various projects with the church and Latin Link
- for safely in travelling to Puno
- God might use us in assising Lourdes Brew
Thanks once again for your continued support in prayer, it is greatly appreciated!!

You are going to miss those empanadas from the despedidas they are the best in Arequipa - (Verde in Tacna have even better ones though!)
