From Alene

Hello everyone!

From left to right: Katie, Mark, Pastor Georgia, Alene

It is good to be back home, although I do miss my new friends.  I had a good time visiting and traveling with you.  When I was asked if I had a good time in Peru the answer was very mixed. I received a blessing as I helped at the school.  I loved working with the children and getting to know some of the parents.  My heart goes out to the teachers and parents at the school. I had a great time site seeing and climbing Machu Picchu. I made it to the top!! All of the good, different food was great. But-- it is good to be home.

I will be leaving for Washington State on Monday, July 11.  My sister and brother-in-law are arriving here on Sunday.  We are going to take our time and site see along the way.  Our destination is Bremerton, Wa., where our brother lives. i ask your prayers for a safe trip.

May God bless each of you as you go about your daily lives.  And may you include Him in your daily lives.
                   Until we meet again,
                         Alene Simmons

A word of Thanks from Peru

Georgia, I thank you for the nice pen and the little and beautiful cowboy picture Denisse gave to me on your behalf this afternoon, it is a nice detail that I will remember while I live. Please, express my gratitude to Donna for providing me with a stretching session that muscles of my upper and lower limbs needed urgently. She made my day then!

Finally, thanks to you and all of your team for the extraordinary work you performed in favor of people with disabilities in my country, God bless you all ever.

Sincerely

Julio Chojeda Torres
