Daniel swimming update

We got a good video of Daniel swimming the other week so thought we would share it with you...

After the lack of posting...

So we've not put anything on the blog for a while.

The reason is not: 1. we have died in a freak car accident, (possible with the appaling driving conditions here) 2. we are not doing anything but enjoying Peruvian food, and soaking up the sun ( the sun seems to have disappeared for its annual holiday until September, October), but 3. we are very much in to a routine in our ministry at the moment, and most of this involves writing talks, courses and sermons, and preaching, and teaching these courses. We therefore haven't felt the need to write about them, as it isn't very exciting for our blog. But then I have just gone and done it anway.

Next week is a particularly busy week with me (Mark) preaching on sunday, teaching a leadership course on Monday, preaching on thursday, and then preaching again on Sunday. This is in 3 different churches, two in the south of Lima, twenty and forty five minutes away, and one in the north, over an hour away.

On other fronts we wrote before Christmas about our problems with bugs, well this has continued in our current house, as it is heavily made of wood, we have quite a big problem with moths burrowing into the wood, and dropping down sawdust on the floor, and worse lots of cockroaches living in the wood in our kitchen. I have unofficialy named myself hunter of block 3 of Alameda de Crepusculo, as it is not uncommon for me to kill more than 10 in one day.

In the news the European and Latin America/Carribean summit is being held here tomorrow and Friday, and so in true Peruvian style there is a 2 day bank holiday, as quite a few of the roads are closed for security purposes. We unfortunately can get anywhere near the summit, which is a shame but, Peru are very proud of it, even though most people in other parts of the world have no idea it is going on, as far as I have asked so far. Please let me know if this is not the case.
