Picture from Peru

Urubamba is in the Andes mountains.  Even though it's the rainy season and much of the days have been cloudy and rainy, it really is a spectacular view.  The Lord's creation is so great!

We are staying at the present seminary campus for which we are designing a new, expanded campus.  There are several pastoral students and families that live on campus.  These little girls live on campus.  

This is the outside pila where most of the dishes are washed.  The two cooks have had to be told several times about our "weak" American stomachs.....that they can't just rinse stuff off and reuse them because we'll get the parasites in the water.  

This is the Catholic church on the little park in the center of town.  It's currently under renovation and is not having mass services.

Yesterday was the birthday of one of the team members.  In Peru (and in Costa Rica), they have a tradition of the birthday boy taking the first bite out of the cake with your mouth.  Normally, they push your head down into the cake at this point, but they refrained.

Please continue to pray for our work here in Peru.  The final presentation of the design is Friday evening.  Also, please be praying because there have been alot of rain here, and landslides are becoming a problem.  People have lost some of their corn crop already, which is their livelihood.
