August 6 - Updates and Reminders

So, as I sit here and wait for Sixto to get out of his interview in the embassy, I decided to write another blog. I have another update on animals...I know, they just keep coming! Well, I got back to Campanilla on July 30, after being in Pucallpa for a week and this greeted me in the back yard...

I am sure I said no to the pig, but he was there when I got home. I do have to say, he was a good pig, and I didn't know he was there until Sixto asked me if I saw him. And, fortunately, he was only there until Saturday morning at 2:00 am. I did hear his last cry, and then the chickens were a little wild for the rest of the morning. I told Sixto they were saying, "Oh my, did you see what happened to PIG this morning? What are we going to do?"
 
Before I went to Pucallpa, I found some pictures I had cut out of an old Mary Engelbreit calendar that my friend, Elisabeth Lewis, gave me. So, I decorated a little in my house. Made it feel a little more homey...



 


And we had the family over for pizza. What a fun time to share with all of them!

 
And we took pictures with the church to share in the states. They are super excited to "go to the states" even if it is in picture form.

So, as I sit here, I am reminded of all the blessings I have had over the past several weeks. What a blessing that pig was only at my house for a few days! And, I know if Sixto doesn't receive his visa, it will be okay, sad, but okay. And he will be waiting for me when I get back to Peru, along with the rest of the family (family family and church family). Thanks for all your prayers!
