What a strange week! God has certainly been in it.

        Last week we let go of our responsibilities at Nuestras Semillas. It felt strange to do so. After months of dreaming, praying, planning, buying, making changes, getting to know our team of teachers and the kids, we walked away.

         The kids are in good hands; the teachers are capable and comfortable; and Pauly, the director, has great ideas and a great work ethic. 

This program, as it always was, is in God´s hands. 

Our extra free time this week seemed divinely appointed; it provided us with opportunites to encourage a few friends experiencing deaths in the family and health problems. We gave a lot of hugs and lent our ears more than we´re used to, but it was a blessing to do so together. 

We are now planning to spend one week of vacation in Cusco! We are really excited for this week of traveling the culturally-rich former capital of the Incan Empire. Our good friend Karla, who spent almost two years there as an intern, will be our guide. Ricky and Tracy, Iberoamerican missionaries in the city, will be our hosts. We look forward to spending time with them as well. Our bus tickets are purchased; we leave tomorrow!
