I apologize the delay in this update. I have received many requests for photos, so this update is merely photos from this past winter. Another update will be up soon!
Though our "summer" has looked a little different in the Southern Hemisphere (for one, we are still in school!) these past couple of months have been filled with many blessings, lessons and adventures. We've enjoyed the company of friends, hiked mountains, made rock ovens, eaten lots of potatoes, celebrated important holidays--Inti Raymi and San Pedro, San Pablo, danced and harvested quinoa.
Enjoy some snap shots of recent events here in Anda!
