Safe Arrivals

Sunday, September 26



We are so happy to be here in Puno. We are grateful for a very safe travel thru the mountains and that so far we have had minimal altitude sickness. Tomorrow morning we leave at 7:45 a.m. to meet the social worker who will take us to the orphange and introduce us to our little girl. We should be at the orpahanage by 9:00 to see her. So exciting!! If she responds well to us then there is a chance that we can take her out of the orpahanage to spend time with her at our hotel. If she is crying and scared then we will spend the day with her at the orphange.

I'm back tracking a little bit to Saturday so that you can meet family and friends here in Peru. The pictures tell the best story.

These are good friends from Peru. We had a big reunion on Saturday and had a HUGE feast with the family that we are staying with. Very good times!!  

This is Henry's family from his mothers side. They are very, very poor but what they lack in funds they more then make up in love. Henry's uncle is paralyed from the neck down. He just returned home from the hospital because of a life threatening infection. We just popped in and surprised them...they had no idea we were coming. A very nice surprise :)

This is Henry's cousin. The little girl is wearing a hat that our good friend Linda made by hand (Linda, you will be Tia Linda to our little girl :) She LOVED the hat!!

 Henry's Grandma.

Henry's sister. Also wearing one of Linda's hats (She loved it too!!)

Thanks again to all of you for your prayers and support. We will be posting pics a.s.a.p. Love to you all!!
