We have arrived safely in Puno, Peru after 2 days in Lima where we stayed with a new friend we met through a friend made in Cusco on previous trips. Those who have gone with the Methodist Church to Cusco...it was with Liz, Eliana's sister. Liz is a physician now working in Lima in a state medical position, and her husband, Lucho, is a mining engineer. They were both so hospitable and fun to be with; did we ever see the sights of Lima!
We have met this evening with a celebration and meeting of the Methodist Bishop of Peru and the Methodist Bishop of Bolivia, as well as over 30 from their indigenous churches in Bolivia, who traveled over to Puno for the event. In preparation of our coming, both countries are uniting for the first time the region surrounding Lake Titicaca for mission and interactive purposes. It was quite the celebration that rocked the rafters with their music and heartfelt speeches and welcomes to all. Tomorrow we will also meet; both Bolivianos and Peruvianos. It was moving to see them embrace the idea and run with it.
Haven't found housing yet......another year in a tent?
