Balancing my “Things to do list” with God’s “Things to do list”.
I am so thankful for God’s patience and faithfulness. He is always here for us; guiding us, teaching us, loving us. I have so much to learn, and He never gives up on me, even when I go off and try to do things my way, He is always waiting there for me, calling me […]

Church, and Kelly.
Yesterday we went to Pastor Jorge’s church. We went without a translator, which was an interesting experience. He talked slower and more clearly than normal, I think he was trying to help us understand. I think they were really happy we came, everyone came over and greeted us and gave us hugs and kisses. The […]

Life in Peru
Now that we are getting a chance to get to “normal”, (I can’t really say get BACK to normal, because we haven’t really experienced normal yet ;-)), I would like to write about what life has been like here in Peru. We don’t really need an alarm, because we have been waking up around 7:00 […]

The last few days.
This last week was amazing. It was so awesome to be able see friends so soon after moving here. We were so blessed by everyone; their hard work and dedication, encouraging words, friendship, jokes, laughter, and love. It was fun too, because we have never been on a mission trip to Peru, so we had […]

The Hardest Part is Leaving….
Alright, this blog is not for the people with ‘over-active tear ducts.’ :’) Tonight, we had to say good-bye to the Ni River Peru Group…
It was so hard.
So here’s my point of view.
It was pretty close to silent in the almost-not-big-enough bus. We pulled up to the airport entrance. “Ohmahgoodness.” I said, trying to lighten […]

Another busy day.
Ok, I’m kind of tired tonight so I won’t be writing too much. I posted another video and more pictures on face book, and videos on youtube.com (mpetersoncrm) if you would like to see them.
Today was another great day. Everyone came ready to jump right in and start working. The video will show the progress […]

Ni River has officially descended upon Hannah’s Home.
Today was the first work day for the Ni River group. Wow, they worked hard and accomplished so much. They pretty much hit the ground running. They cleaned windows and light fixtures, sorted clothes that were donated, started scraping the outside of the front wall, and dug a hole so we can put the big […]

Visiting with friends
Today was an amazing day. We walked to the church in Pucasana (Pastor Jorge‘s church) and met the mission trip group there. I love that church. It is a small, local church with about 50 attendees. They are so full of the spirit there it is incredible. At the end, they called Greg up to […]

We are getting settled in.
Yesterday we went grocery shopping. The grocery store is called Tottus, it is like a Super WalMart. It looks like they carry just about anything we would need, other than Cheerios and peanut butter. I’m sure there other things they don’t carry, we will find out soon enough. There is a store called Sodimac connected […]

The Devil’s Playground
The title totally describes the day we had today. We spent 11 hours at the airport, trying to get our dog out of customs! We spent the day waiting for people, waiting in line, trying to talk to people in Spanish, going from place to place, etc. It was frustrating, and long. I’m tired of jumping through hoops! If […]
