With the kids out of school for holidays and H1N1 worries, it was a great time to have this group here. If only we could get the kids to loosen up and have some fun!
We were delighted to have Wayne and Lynnea with us for three days. Wayne was the child of Amazon River missionaries and has returned in recent years to bring the Word to those living around Iquitos on the river. The kids were fascinated with his tales about the jungle and hunting for lizards for dinner as a kid! Don´t think any were ready to try a taste.
Sunday we had the older kids over for lunch and games. The younger kids were not able to come as measles is prevalent. Keep our kids in your prayers as many are sick as well as Director Pedro and Directora María. Victoria and Giovanna are doing a dance routine for Nani and Joann
Tía Nani spent a week here at Casa Sagrada Familia teaching the kids about family meals, special meals and the Lord´s Table. Oh, we also did cool stuff like Rice Krispie treats, pizza, and Smores! They had a GREAT time!
I'm pleased to say that Bishop Godfrey was able to visit both Casas this July during his visit to Southern Peru. Besides talking to directors and staff, he visited with the younger kids at San José. The kids "wowed" him with their presentation of Peruvian music. He had the kids perform their pieces as a gradual on Sunday.
