Rest Up And Ready to Go

We are all rest up and ready to go after our long travel from Tampa to Lima and finally to Chiclayo, Peru. Everyone seems to be in great spirit. I guess we will find out how energize we really are whenever Andy gets down stairs for lunch.

Wardell


Thank you Lord for our safe trip to Chiclayo. Unfortunately, our bag did not make it to Peru. We are anxious and hopefully that we will receive it within 5 days. We are blessed and are ready to meet the children.

Novene

Traveling Man


We spent Saturday on three planes and hold up in multiple airport terminals but we finally made it to Chiclayo, Peru with most (but not all) of our luggage. All of the equipment and supplies made it but Wardell, Novene, and Andy are missing bags. I can loan Andy a shirt but Novene with out her wardrobe is a fashion disaster waiting to happen. Hopefully the bags will be here today. Here is a picture of the team killing six hours in the Lima terminal.

Piura Information

Introduction to Piura:

Piura is a city in northwestern Peru. It is the capital of the Piura Region and the Piura Province.

The population is approximately 400,000.

It was here that Spanish Conqueror Francisco Pizarro founded the first Spanish city in South America, San Miguel de Piura, in 1532, thus earning the modern day city its Peruvian nickname: "La Primera Ciudad"- meaning: the first city.
