This has been another pretty full week. Karen and Aimee left earlier this week. I felt terrible for Aimee because she was so sick that day, but I've talked to her since and she's feeling much better now. It's always hard to say goodbye to volunteers, and even harder for the volunteers to say goodbye to the kids.

I went to Chenpen on Wednesday to talk with the judge about moving those three kids, however I think right now it is looking like we aren't going to have to say goodbye to them anytime soon. We also went and took a tour of the orphanage where they would be going if they left. The orphanage had a great building however it was kind of a cold feeling. It reminded me very much of the government run orphanages that I've been to.

On Thursday morning I woke up at 4:25 and drove to Trujillo to pick up Terry Hunka from the airport. He came to visit me and see the ministry that's going on here in Pacasmayo. We first stopped by Hogar de Esperanza and had a great meeting with their administrator after taking a tour. Then we drove to Pacasmayo and I showed him around and gave him the tour of the orphanage and the school. We talked a lot with Avis and I think we might be trying to plan a couple trips next summer. Then last night I brought him back to the airport so he can catch up with his team that was flying in. Terry will be going to some meetings to check on the status of his adoption so please be praying that those meetings go well.

Today I took a couple of the boys to Pastor Auden's house to do a little yard work and hang out. At 12:00 we had a meeting with our lawyer. The rest of the day today I have been resting and talking to my sisters on skype. I'm getting ready to head over to one of the kids house and eat dinner. Hopefully tonight they won't be having Sangracita, which was something they made earlier this week and I ate for the first time. I found out that what Sangracita is, is just cooked blood. They put a whole bunch of chicken blood into a frying pan and cook it until it globs up, then they serve it over rice. The taste wasn't that bad, but it was just the mental part of it which made it so I couldn't eat it. I tried two bites then I had to give up.

I know I've been saying this a lot lately, but I'll try and post more on my blog.
