This year the Lord worked it out for many family and friends, even our Aunt Ruth from Florida! to participate in the celebration of our country’s freedom. Here’s some pictures from the great time of fellowship and activities.
Our fathers’ God, to Thee,
Author of liberty,
To Thee we sing:
Long may our land be bright
With freedom’s holy light;
Protect us by Thy might,
Great God, our King!

Many things happened today, but I only have time to share about two.
We stopped in Callao again today and had lunch at the Yacht Club Peruano. There was a huge deck at the end of a pier that looked out over the bay where tables were set where we dined. It was gorgeous, and God even brought the sun out to cut off the slight chill that is ever present during their winter.
In the evening, we were invited to sing at a special Christian event at none other than Peru’s House of Congress! This is one event I’ll never forget.
Please pray for alertness. Everyone on the team is very tired after getting very little sleep throughout the week. There is no time during the day for rest, so pray we would be able to use our time very wisely during the few hours of the evening and morning we are at the hotel. Buenas noches!

From the Maria Angola Centro de Convenciones across the street from our hotel to the Plaza de Armas downtown, we had a fantastic tour of Lima today.
I think the Plaza de Armas was my favorite location. We arrived there at dusk, just in time to photograph the beautiful textures of the intricate architecture.
Afterward, we ate dinner at a very fancy Chinese/Peruvian restaurant. They say the President of Peru eats there sometimes! It was distinctly South American.
Thank you for praying for the team! As an update, we are staying very healthy and God is blessing us with favor in the eyes of all we meet. Please pray now for organization and direction for long term goals.

Today, we drove to Peru’s largest and most important port city, Callao (pronounced Kaw-jhow). For lunch we went out to eat at a very fancy restaurant that overlooked the Pacific Ocean. Many boats were docked close by and large ships could be seen in the distance. The seafood served was just incredible!
To finish the day, we strolled along the coast at the end of the peninsula on which Callao is situated. It was a beautiful way to finish a beautiful day!
And just for fun, here are a few more random shots taken throughout the day.

Today could be divided into two main sections. First, the team traveled about two hours north by bus to a school where took the opportunity to share testimonies, sing, and explain how to have true success in life. We then ate lunch with the students and had a great time just interacting with them one on one.
We concluded the day with a fantastic banquet at a friend’s home. Again, fellowship and building relationships with new people were the highlights.
I also wanted to post a few random pictures I took during our long hours of traveling. Along the coast, it is indeed desert both geographically and, sadly, economically.
