Off to Camp

Tomorrow we will pack our van and head out of town for a couple of weeks of camp. Our first week will be spent with Peruvian pastors and their families. The second week will be our Baptist Mid-Missions Peru Ministry Team meetings. The camp has cabins but they are really packed for pastor's camp. We always stay in a tent. It is fun for the girls and their are no bugs that way! We'll actually be home on the weekend to take care of services at our church. When we return we will be ready for hot showers and soft beds once again!

The picture above is from several years ago, you'll notice Elizabeth has grown some since that time! Please excuse our absence from the blog through at least this week. We'll be back to posting real soon!

Today's View from Peru....Traffic

Lima has some of the worst traffic and craziest driving in the world. We've told you in previous posts that Peru statistically has the most dangerous roads in the world. I have often tried to take a picture that would truly show how bad the traffic can get. I've never been successful in capturing the true congestion in the streets. However, I did run across this picture recently published by a local newspaper. I hope it will convince you that we do have a bit of a traffic problem! Be sure to click on the picture for the incredible (albeit not terribly sharp) view! Remember only 8 percent of Peruvians own their own vehicle the rest rely on public transportation. When we are at a stand-still in traffic it makes me glad that vehicle ownership isn't common!

Elizabeth's First Bike

Here is a quick video of Elizabeth's first bike ride! Now she's ready to cruise the roads! Hope you enjoy! Be sure the check out the latest update on our girls on their BLOG.
