Puppies, roommates and Tarma


It is a sunny day in Tarma, which is a nice change from the clouds and rain that accompany our life in Tarma most days (the natural progression of rainy season). I do find that I tend to be happier when the sun shines, so today I am thankful for its rays and its warmth. Today our new roommate is moving in with us: Pacha – the dog. We have acquired a new pet that will hopefully bring joy to the daily life, and encouragement to Elsa, who responds well to animals. She is getting “fixed” today so that she can live in harmony with the owner’s boy dog downstairs :) In addition to Pacha, Meredith is arriving from Lima with our two Lima roommates in tow. Raquel and Eli are on vacation for the month of January and decided to come to Tarma for a visit – so we are receiving our first guests of 2010. It should be an enjoyable weekend with them, although it will be a full house.
Monday marks the first team meeting of the year which will also be a day of fasting as we pray and plan out our next moves in Tarma.
