In Talevera we visited president Richard Hurranca. (Top picture on my left) They fed us cuy and then he wanted us to visit his mothers home up on the hill. They are a wonderful family. His father died a few week back and we went to the funeral. We got very close to them. It is the rainy season and we got involved in a little mud. No worry, It washes off. The Brother on the bottom is his counselor and his family. I love going into peoples homes and visiting them. On another note we are finally changing President Duque in the San Jeronnimo branch in Andahuayls. We now have a new district presidency and will have all new branch presidents in Andahuaylas. We have hopes things will improve there.
We have heard peeping, and when we went to find the chicks, we found cui instead. We did not develop a taste for them, though. I said that when we got home, I was going to raise one til he was really big and fat - and then go eat a bowl of cornflakes!
ReplyDeleteRainy season = mud, no way around it. And cold. Though it only changes a few degrees, the cold creeps in through the concrete walls and turns every room into a refrigerator.
Our only trip to Andahuaylas got cut short by a mine strike and violence (unfortunately a few people were senselessly killed), so we had to make a quick dash back to Cusco, otherwise we could have gotten stranded there for a couple weeks.
