Home now

We are home now!  Fortunately, the return flights were not as exciting compared to the travel down.  We are thankful that everyone is safe and healthy.

Here are some quick highlights of the last days.

Day 4 and 5 of the clinic was relocated to a different city.  We worked in a community center seeing patients with a variety of diagnoses.  Carrie worked with pediatric patients.  Stephanie worked with casting and wheelchair adjustments.  Dan worked with neuro patients including post-polio and spinal cord injury.

We then flew to Cusco, Peru and took a beautiful train ride to the small town of Aguas Calientes, just outside of Machu Picchu.  The next morning we visited the historical site of Machu Picchu where Dan and Dr. Schoeneberg hiked to the top of Machu Picchu Mountain. 

Being on top of the mountain and looking down on the beautiful landscape, Dan said, “It’s so peaceful up here.”  It was serene, magnificent, and captivating.  We saw the beauty of God’s creation and were reminded that with all its beauty, it was still in a fallen world.  The awe and wonder is not in the created, but in the Creator.

Thank you for all your prayers.  We have been blessed by this opportunity that the Lord has given us to serve.  We thank God for the many blessings of smiles, tears and prayers. 

To God be the glory.
