Well, these kids might not look too happy to be getting their Bibles but they were (at least I think they were).  In Peru, people don’t always smile for pictures like we do in the U.S., in fact many times they are told not to smile.  The Lord blessed us with a good Saturday kid’s club.  We had 26 come and several of those were visitors from the area around the church plant!  Each child receives a Bible for coming to club 4 Saturdays in a row. We are trying to teach the kids to use their Bibles through playing Bible Sword drills (pictured below).

Also, over the past several Sundays we have been able to reach out to at least 400 people through the giving of flyers, gum, and balloons.  As we mentioned before our district was having a “Recreovia” where for at least 6 Sundays they shut down one side of the street and allowed people to play games, walk and ride bicycles.  These were great opportunities for us to get out and meet people where they were.  This Sunday was the last one for theses activities but we pray to see fruit!

 

 

Thursday and Friday were holidays here in Peru.  Thursday was “All Saints Day” and then Friday was “Day of the Dead”.  Our family took advantage of the holiday on Thursday to see and do some things we had never done since being in Peru.  We went to a local zoo, visited some Inka ruins we had never seen, and we ate “cuy”, otherwise known as guinea pig.  We had to eat guinea pig because so many people in the U.S. are always asking if we have tried it.  So, after over 7 years in Peru we finally had guinea pig for the first time.  If you have ever eaten squirrel, it tasted a lot like it.  If you have never eaten rabbit or squirrel I guess you would probably say “it taste like chicken”. We had a great day and the Lord allowed us to make some memories for a lifetime. Here is the picture of our “cuy”!
