At the end of our trip in Lima, we were delighted to pick up our friends James Wagner and Tim Whitley at the airport and bring them back to Trujillo with us. It was exhilarating to have our first friends come to visit. We came back to Trujillo and enjoyed showing them around a bit. They were so gracious to bring Eric’s birthday gifts from the states and a special package from our parents. We really enjoyed the fellowship of familiar faces from home. We were humbled as they asked some great questions and we realized just how much we still have to learn about our new home! So we’re working on our tour-guiding skills for the next visitors that come down (wink,wink). It was so fun sharing a piece of the land and culture as well as the excitement of the ministry here. We took them to most of our favorite eateries, showed them the hot-spots, had some great conversation, adventured to Otuzco, and said goodbye as they hurried off to make it down to Machu Picchu before their week was over. After a few months in a foreign land and just the beginnings of relationships, it was so encouraging and refreshing to spend time with people that know us. It was wonderful to hear that even with such a pull as Machu Picchu, they hated having to leave Trujillo. We very much agreed. It was such a rich, wonderful time having friends among us!!!
