Reflecting on the last day, the word that comes to mind is “humbling”. What we could never do in our own strength is accomplished by the power of God working in and through us. We started off the day down two mechanics and a therapist and yet the work moved forward as volunteers and others stepped in to help. Fortunately, the morning brought mostly simple adaptations and we were able to serve the people who were waiting fairly quickly.
We have been overwhelmed by how gracious our hosts have been. The people of the church have worked alongside of us and provided food, translation, guides for the patients, evangelism, and so much more.
The evening ended with a celebration of what God has done this week. One of the highlights was a traditional Peruvian dance performed by a church member (who has worked alongside our mechanics all week) and his wife.
We have come to love the people of the church and will miss them.
Today we will be doing some shopping in Tacna before beginning the LONG travel home. A flight from Tacna to Lima, a wait in the Lima airport, followed by flights to the U. S. and, for most of us, connecting flights home. Pray that none of us succumb to this illness that has spread through our group – it would be miserable to be this sick while traveling.
Thank you all for your prayers. If internet connection allows, I will add pictures later.

Thank You for the I formative blog. I am praying for those who are not well. I know what it feels like to fly long distance when you are very ill. We will be so happy to have you home.
