We are all here, including the Williamsons and Chris Cato.
Ready for a busy day here in Lima, Peru!!
We will try to keep you posted; the next post should come tonight after our first team meeting.
Everyone is a little tired, nervous, and really excited about our first day.
Derek says hi.
Larry says hi.
Tony is enjoying the Gushers his mom sent with him.
A quick summary of our travels:
We woke up really early to meet at the church and say goodbye. Thanks to our drivers and Paul Lyzenga for sending us off. The flight to Newark went really well with no turbulance. Our layover went pretty well. We were greeted with a reception, including cake and a balloon arch. (More details later....) The flight to Lima was awesome...the airplane food was good, and there was next to no turbulance. We got through customs/immigrations pretty quickly and got ALL the bags--none lost. Praise God for that! Sylvia and Eric from Buckner met us (although Eric and Chris Cato, who arrived later, stayed to meet Bethany and Abby). We enjoyed the bus ride and were able to see part of Lima. We saw the Pacific Ocean and some of us were reminded of Lima's diversity of poor/rich.
Everyone just got finished with breakfast, and soon we are off to Reina de la Paz.
Hasta luego! (see you later!)
PS--Derek says bye.
Great news! Keep us posted, I've got some precious cargo I shipped there. Love to all of you and be bold and trust Jesus to do His work! God is @ work through you guys in ways you can't imagine. TRUST HIM! Peace Out!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear all of you are safe & sound and with calm stomachs. ;) I agree with Brian, I sent some "non-replaceable cargo" also, so BE SAFE!! Love to read the daily events on here. Love & Prayers go out to all of you. Hugs & Kisses to Larry & Derek from me! ;D Enjoy and have fun! :)
ReplyDeleteHi all. Drew's surgery went well. The surgeon said the skin was pretty elastic so it sewed up fine. He is home and asleep now(7pm Wed). Had a work day at their house last nite and got quite a bit done. Lori, Penny, Brandon and Lisa are finishing up tonite. Glad you are all there and safe. Blessings. Love you Heather. Dad. Hope you all have a great day. Curt :)
ReplyDeleteSo fun to re-connect up with our Sunrise family!
ReplyDeleteHi from all of us here in Wisconsin. Hope all is going well and that your having fun. When I woke up this morning, I was horrified to discover a spider was making a web in Jake and Sara's Bedroom, lucky for me Grandpa saved the day by killing Spike the Spider. Can't wait to hear again from you. I also agree with Brian and Denise we have some very "precious cargo" in Peru. Love from the Lake, Ali, Jessie, Grandma Sandy, and Grandpa Ralph
ReplyDeleteP.S.- Mark 16:15 He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation." Thank you soooo much for doing that!
HI guys,
ReplyDeleteThis is Sue/mom singing in on the Henderson's account because our computer won't let us get in. Thankful you are safe and sound and from the pictures, it looks like everyone is getting to know each other. Miss you all and Emily says the IN corn is doing well in case you were wondering. Tell all the girls at RdlP that we miss them and give them hugs from us. Thank you for sharing and showing them Jesus. Love and kisses to all Wetzels and hugs to the Williamson gals. We are praying hard! Love to you all!
Sue, Elijah, Rebekah and Emily

Drew got his picc out, so no more anti-biotic. Can't walk til maybe Saturday. Dad says he misses you mom and that silly Ringo walks around whining and meowing, he misses you too. Pictures were neat- Dawn, Josh and Lisa liked them. That 90 had a crack in it at the house Larry. I don't think I did it when I jammed a brick underneath. Doesn't leak now though. Love you Heather. Miss you mom. We are having game nite at your house tonite. Dad won at 7up. Praying for you guys. Curt:)
ReplyDeleteI enjoy all the comments from you all. I know the kids are very special and they make a mark on your heart, forever. I pray that Tuesday will be powerful in the fact that you will be saying good bye but you also leave a lot of love there for the kids. Memories that they will not forget. Keep doing the Lord's work. We anxiously wait for your return with safe travels. It is very hot here in the 90's.
