We are packing. It takes forever. Pharmaceuticals are now in ziploc bags (thanks to Margaret) and clothing is strewn on the floor (thanks to Maria). Slowly but surely, though, we...are...getting...excited. Maybe it was the Barnes and Noble trip where we bought a few summer reading items ranging from "In Defense of Food" (guess whose pick) to a "revolutionary" read by Foucault. Maria will probably pack Curious George along with these and Margaret may pack "Are you there God; It's me Margaret." Gosh. We've got a long way to go.
Ok, so a brief introduction. We are headed to Peru this summer as many of you know, and we'd like folks in our lives to keep up with our excursions. Mainly because at some point, Maria will get altitude sickness and you'll want to read the story. On that note, please do pray for both of us during this journey to meet with and share with our sisters and brothers in Peru. We are each thankful to learn from (and hopefully, teach...) our not-known but soon-to-be-known Peruvian friends. What a mysterious, humbling, and exciting prospect! God is good to be with us in this new place.
Sometimes Margaret will be posting her thoughts and sometimes Maria will. We'll let you know who is who. If you're ever confused...well...it's probably because we are.
Here's to Peru-dise! More importantly...here's to God's paradise...being made known in small ways and in big ways...wherever and whenever we are willing to squint long enough to see it.
En el nombre del Padre, del Hijo, y del Espiritu Santo, que Dios le bendiga, mas y mas y mas y mas. Amen.
-Margaret and Maria
