We went out to the Sacred Valley with a team that was here

and one of the places we visited was an amazing pottery

place called Seminario. At this place they have a little owl

monkey they rescued. Now, I don't like monkeys as a rule, but..

she was so cute. I kept thinking how much the boys would have

enjoyed her. Sean is missing all his lizards, toads, and tree frogs

that he had been keeping as pets in SC. Wouldn't something like

this make a good replacement?

This is most of the team that was just here. We really enjoyed
getting to know them. We had a great time on our daytrip out
to the Sacred Valley with them.



Through this group we learned a little about a boy's home
which is out in the valley by the river. They had a beautiful place,
but they had built with adobe... A massive flood occured sometime
in March and completely wiped out their home. So now the
"parents" and 42 boys are living in an old hotel they have rented.
They are some really neat people who seem to love the Lord and

really have a heart for their boys. They are hoping to rebuild, but

with stone and concrete this time! It was special to hear their story.

This is all that's left of their home....

This is Gregoria, a Quechua lady who has been helping us

out quite a bit. It's been really neat to see the way Katie

has bonded with her. She is carrying Katie in a manta, which

is what all the Quechua ladies carry their babies/children

around in. The little ones really love being carried like this.
