We went to the ruins of Huaca Pucllana Saturday which is about a mile from our house, and we saw this Peruvian dog. This is an ancient breed from Peru. It was an interesting tour and some other pics can be seen on yahoo flickr by doing a people search of alan_sandyinperu.

This weekend has found both of us sick. Saturday afternoon I came down with stomach problems and Sandy followed today. Right now we both seem to have fully recovered and am ready for a good day tomorrow in language school.

This has been a weekend to catch up on reports, the IMB believes in paperwork, prepare for our Bible studies, Spanish homework. Got to study more of my verbs after I finish typing this. We are studying direct and indirect objects and I sure wish I had studied my English a little more.

I had about twenty in my Bible study last Wednesday night with three new faces. I had a chance to talk and share with a young lady after class. Her English was very poor so another class member translated for me. I was able to catch some of her conversation, and that was good. We are studying how to have a quiet time with a little English lesson at the beginning.

We have friends from Chavin coming into Lima tomorrow and we are looking forward to seeing them. It is two journeygirls that was in our quad during orientation. They will be here for a few days. They are precious young ladies and a true joy to be around.

It was so wonderful today. The sun was shinning and there was a cool breeze blowing. Fall is in the air. It is getting cooler and less humid. Well, guess I need to work on a few more verbs so I will go.
