Dear hermanos de Peru.

One of our last days there with the boys :( ...we had them put their hand prints all over our shirts! 

This boy may have been one of the reasons I was supposed to go to Peru. 

They thought the guessing game was so much fun! 

Sweet little Armando.  I have a great video of him singing a song in Catchuwa that is too cute. 

Alberto!  He's a wild child and I love it!

Shoes, shoes, shoes.  They got a little out of control with the paint that day. 

Installing windows in a school... I cut my finger open that day.  I've got the battle wound to prove it! 

Just thought they would show off my non-washed, root infested, hair! 

A city outside of the Amazon.

One of the boys took this picture.  Such good photography skills! 

Mi hermano de Peru.  (My Peruvian brother).

Bernie!

Luis!!  I love this boy! 

Putting the little kiddos to sleep during movie night. 

"Momma, momma!"  

I love my little brothers.

Maxi and I on one of my last days there.  

Taking Floix out for his birthday dinner one night (after I gave him his present).  

We just found out Efrain got adopted by a family in Argentina! 

These boys had me whipped! 

I miss these boys so much and think about them everyday.  I can't wait to go back in May and see them again!  They really did change me for the better and I am so blessed to have had this opportunity.  I thought I was the one going there to serve, but I couldn't have been more wrong.  I learned so much about life, people, and myself from those boys and I cannot thank them enough for the lessons they taught me.  

...so to my little Peruvian brothers, I miss you and love each one of you crazy guys!
