Tarapoto Peru July 6, 7, and 8

Many kids at VBS no school on Tuesdays. I took film photos of VBS kids to give to them on Friday about 5 rolls had them developed at a place around the corner. Not as good as I would have liked but they looked nice in the display that Margaret and Stephanie set up. Walking down to VBS we were invited in this lady’s backyard where she was baking it was quite a site. Flies everywhere she was mixing this dough on this old dugout table that could have been 100 years old. She had a large adobe fire place to cook in it looked like a pizza oven.

Micky is the hit of the neighborhood he is singing and yelling Opah! The kids all go by and yell “Micky” and “Opah!”

In the evening they are cooking supper on the street. Chicken feet and all the lady laughs when Rhonda squeals at the sight of chicken feet in her bowl.

More people sick on Wednesday RS, FS, and FN. I am also not feeling well yet. I am staying back at the hotel and will take a motorcar to Lamus at about 11 this morning. The entire group is going to the Indian village after lunch which is Pizza today.

There are worries now that we might not get the church finished. The roofing material has not arrived and they walls are not up all the way. Only one and a half days left. Everybody is in good spirits though.

Bye for now
Dan
