mancora 2011

Hello!  I see that I have some faithful friends who check back from time to time.  Sorry there isn't much new material.  Let's catch up.

The main preoccupation these days has been for our residency visa.  I mentioned a while back that the branch isn't helping people who aren't in special full-time service anymore, so we tried a few things to become immigrants, and it didn't work.  This month (today actually!) the visas we had expired, so last week we traveled to the Ecuador border to cross and come back as tourists; now we have 6 months.  So... since we were in the north anyway, we took advantage to go to the beach for 4 days in Mancora, with Mikaela from our congregation, Bradon and Kendra who are in a nearby congregation, and Kendra's brother visiting from the U.S.  I know this is what everybody says, but it was great!  Here are all the pictures. (along with the rest of my October pictures)

I can't believe it's almost November already.  One thing I realized the other day- this has been our happiest year in Peru.

More later...
