I signed a one-year lease on my new apartment this past Saturday! My excitement has only been slightly contained by the sickness that continues to trouble my very being (ok, so that’s a little exaggerated). I am super pumped about moving in early next week, and then spending time getting the place set up. Even more exciting is the fact that our last teammates, the Fletchers, are flying in on the 10th!
Our team has also been very blessed by the presence of several visitors over the last week. The team going to Cusco arrived last Monday night (Oct. 26), and we were able to spend significant amounts of time with them the next three days. Then, on Thursday night, Garrett Bradford, a friend of ours from A&M, came in from Arequipa. After spending several years working on the mission field in both Chile and Brazil, he is making is way up through the continent. I was able to spend almost every waking moment with him while he was here, and I enjoyed all of it. We had great conversations, ate great meals, prayed for our ministry, joined the team for worship, practicing Spanish praise, and Halloween festivities, talked with Peruvian friends, and even made some new friends. Good times.
So, here is another picture of the place. I will definitely put much more up as it starts being filled with furniture.
