Un Día

Today was a difficult day. In the morning, my husband and I went to see about some documents that are getting approved in Peru. Tim has his resident visa, but now we are going through the process of getting him his Peru identification. We have not completed everything, and I do not know when it will end. In the morning, we were in that place and a person in charge told me we had to make another payment and then complete other documents for the file, and after that we had to wait a few days and then we needed to return to that place.

After being in that place, I felt annoyed and disappointed, but my husband told me that all this was a test of patience and I think it was and I know I did not score well on the test. But I know that through that I will learn to be more patient with those people, but I need a lot of help from God to have a good experience there, and not to leave disappointed every time I am there.

After we were there, we went to a place to have lunch and it was good to be away from that place, and in a restaurant, although the food was not very good, but we managed to rest a little and then we were ready to move forward on the things we had to do. We then went to a place to buy some pens that some people in the church were wanting for the anniversary of the department of youth and adolescents in the church. The church sent us with some money to buy the pens, and then to have some words printed onto the pens. We bought 100 pens and they will have written IEPP – Valle Alto – EE.CC. These are abbreviations for the name of the church and the department of youth and adolescents. Thank God our time there was calm.

Then we returned home and rested a little. Then my husband went to teach an english class in the church. He and Virginia are teachers. And while my husband is in the english class, I am going to cook dinner... spaghetti with red sauce.
