Well we are here in Lima!
The Diospi Suyana guesthouse is fantastic and located in a good part of
town. Although Lima is a crazy place (a
lot like Cambodia in my experience).
We have an amazing testimony getting through Peru airport
customs – after explaining what work we are coming to Peru to do, and staff
impressed with Sandi’s mothering capability and our lovely newborn Stacey, the
staff at decided to wave us past the checkouts without inspection of our 94
items of baggage. This was right past
everyone else getting their bags pulled apart and strewn everywhere per normal
process! Unheard of for the locals who
could not believe it (needless to say multitudes of people are praying for us to
realise such incredible favour – thank you for your prayers which are certainly
being answered).
We also have many other testimonies, such as the one regarding how our Lord looked after us regarding 3 of our bags that suffered ill fate during our trip. Sandi is posting this story on her Facebook page now. And the breakthrough only days before we took off with the provision people and trucks at the Lima end to pick up our luggage which would have otherwise left us stuck with an unmanageable pile at the airport. Moreover it was at no charge to us as our commitment to Peru has touched the hearts of those involved in Lima.
Below are some photos of our family at the airport and
arriving at the guesthouse with our luggage.

We are thankful to Ursula who travelled down from Diospi
Suyana Curahuasi helping us get our Peru legal documentation / working visas
sorted in Spanish. We have undergone the normal process
with the local Notary Public to create Spanish certificates and then with
Interpol which was an experience in itself (the facility was dated like
something from a 1950’s war movie).
It has been full on since our feet touched the ground here and the kids have coped amazingly thus far with all this and our lack of one on one time with them.
