Lima in the winter...
Its not so pretty. We've seen the sun for about 4-5 hours since we returned from Ica. Over 2 weeks ago. Vit. D deprivation is a killer! But the silver lining on our horizon takes place Monday! We will escape the gloom and head to the US! David is heading to Atlanta for a training conference for our Strategy Coordinator Churches and then flying up to VA when it is over for a few days. Pete and I are going straight to VA! And thus we embark on the adventure of international travel with a 3 month old. Pete is all set- he's got his passports (yes, he needs both of them to travel- his US to enter the US and his Peruvain to enter Peru-dual citizenship is complex). We are so looking forward to introducing him to everyone back home and letting his family get some time with him! I just want to lay by the pool. Is that bad?
Pete is growing growing growing!! It amazes me how much he changes every single day. This week he has learned how to really grab toys and has even found a few favorites. David and I were saying that he really seems to be engaging with us more now. This morning he was playing in his crib and I sneezed and he laughed really hard about that. Which is good because he used to burst into tears whenever I sneezed. Who knew a sneeze could elicit such emotion.

David and I have been especially busy these past few weeks. Of course this is the busy time of year, so there is the usual hullabuloo, but we have also been doing "team leader stuff". We've got a lot to learn and we need your prayers more than ever.

After our foray to the US, we will be back in Lima for a week and THEN! we go to Huanuco! It will be 11 months since I was in our old hometown and I can't wait to go! So we've got a lot of travel ahead, but we are looking forward to all of it.

Please keep us in your prayers! Thanks so much to all of you!
