I am very excited!
Why? You ask...well I will tell you!
We are FINALLY getting to leave Lima! Because of the initial onset of my Rheumatoid Arthritis we haven´t had much opportunity to leave the city. I was physically unable to do so. Well this Thursday we are boarding a bus and heading three hours south to go to a National Natural Preserve and some islands. I cannot remember the name and even if I could I do not know how to spell it...grin...so I will get that info and let you know. We have Thursday and Friday off as a required holiday. There are many foreign Presidents coming to Lima for some conference so the city does not want a lot of traffic on the roads so they said NO WORK. So really all that does is stop the traffic downtown, all roads leading OUT of the city will be busy as people head out. This time we will be joining them!!! HOOOOORRRAAAAAYYYY!
Emily and I are the only ones going! We will test Em´s Spanish to the limit, but we are confident in our travel plans. The woman at the Inn we are staying at arranged the tours of the reserve and the islands and she will meet us at the bus stop. She knows several people who are very fluent in English and we are stoked!
I will write more and post pictures when we come back.
Please be in prayer for the Christmas Program...it is HUGE here in Peru and a lot is expected. I am currently rewriting the script for the rough english translation that was given to me...wow tht was interesting!!! I am the logistics "producer" for lack of a better term. I have been busy putting together a pratice schedule, parent permission/commitment form, and cast list. It has been crazy but it that stuff will get much better after today (It all has to be sent out today so it HAS to be done by 2 pm) Then all I have to worry about it being stage manager. Heidi Copeland is the actually director for the play, Miss Mari is in charge of the Incial program and all I have to do is figure out how to change scenes without disruption. It will be loads of fun...truly. I guess I am also in charge of lights and sound, or at least getting others assigned to those things.
Well now I really need to go. I love you all.

So how did your trip turn out? I bet it was nice. Do you get to celebrate a Thanksgiving type day in Peru? I keep remembering when I was so sick in Vincennes and I complained about no Turkey for TG because my sister is a veggie. You and I cooke one remember? You are so sweet.
I am so thankful for you and Emily and the work you are doing. I am glad your medications are working.
I hope you had fun and I hope your Christmas play goes well. Have a Happy Thanksgiving and a Merry Christmas if I don't see you blog again soon.
