Home Alone in Peru!

I've made it back from a week of staff training with RUF in the states and Heather survived 10 days without me (barely!) [insert correction: Heather says that it was actually 11 days pushing 12 because I got back so late on Monday]. That's hard work with five kids. I told her she gets the wife / mom of the year award. It was good to catch my breath in the states, visit with a few people (but alas, no time to meet with very many :), and eat some good American food!!!

Now, with the Baker's on vacation in Texas, the Bradford's taking some time off in another part of Peru, and the Smith's in Lima picking up Allen's father, we are the only American family here connected with Peru Mission. We're home alone! A bit surreal, but we'll survive no doubt. In addition, most of our SALI interns head out tomorrow for the states for Christmas break and much deserved break.

Please pray for safety for all our missionaries who are traveling, as well as physical and spiritual refreshment.
