Welcome!

I heard a story once about a not-so-famous jazz pianist, Boyd Lee Dunlop, who learned how to play on a broken piano in a neighbor’s yard. It must have been a little like this (click here). I think God is like that - a master musician who can coax beautiful music out of broken instruments. If my life has any loveliness in it, it is only because God is writing a concerto for a broken me.

The latest movement in this concerto has some interesting dissonance. Living trust and joy in the middle of crisis is our new daily challenge.

Almost Ready!

My bags are packed and I'm ready to go...for the Monday morning flight to Lima. From there, we catch another flight to Chiclayo.  By Tuesday evening, I should be reunited with my luggage, and then travel by bus over the Andes to the mission station at Nuevo Horizonte.   I have no idea what the Internet availability will be like, so just trust that I'll post when I can!  


Both of these suitcases are filled with gifts and goodies for the folks in Peru.  There are necklaces and backpacks, nail clippers, sewing kits, deflated soccer balls, toy cars and shoes.  My own stuff is in a smaller backpack. 

On a humorous note, this little guy appeared in our living room last night.  I didn't expect to see the likes of him until I got to the jungle!


The guys caught him and we'll either find a home for him or release him.  That's all for now!

Love each other well,
Bonnie :)
