Leaving cajamarca

thursday we wil be in cusco-- the gateway to Machu Pichu! we cant wait! cusco is one location the branch said they needed help so we will be seeing what the service is like there and then its off to tacna! the border town between peru and chile. this part of the journey we will be taking a sleeper bus from cusco to arequipa then arequipa to tacna. by the time we are done we will have done every form of transportation on this trip... plane, bike, motocycle, walk(the most popular) bus,taxi,and of course cruise ship!!!! ( our ticket home!) today we fly back to Lima to spend the day with a great family we spent a week with when we first got here. they are in the Miraflores congregation and that is where we preached for our first week in peru. we are there only for the day before we take off to Cusco! Lima will be hosting an international convention around the same time we want to return to south america in November and the branch is looking forward to welcomeing us as need greaters with the convention being a great kickoff. so far we have met many missionary couples and love there spirit they maintain. many having done this for many years and serving in many parts of peru. fortunetly we were able to stay in a missionary home in cajamarca for the 10 days we were there so that rocked! we will write again soon with pics of the Pichu!!!!--- tony and char
