Great Lemon


Your probably wondering what is in the picture. The small one is a lemon that is sold in Lima. That is what we always buy, and I am not sure if they have bigger ones here. Its about the size of a golfball. Elianas parents just got back from visiting some churches in the Amazon jungle. They got some lemons from a tree there, and that is what is shown in the picture. A huge lemon from the jungle.
In other news, Eliana and I are doing well. Tomorrow we are going camping with about 50 or more people from our church, and another church. We visited the campsite about a week ago, and its really beautiful there. Here is the big city of Lima, its really dry, and theres not really anything green unless it is watered. But we are camping by a village that sits in a valley between mountains, and a river runs through there, and its really beautiful. We will all be sleeping in tents, about 100 yards from a river. We will be there for 4 nights. I am really excited to get away from the city. After growing up in Kansas and being able to see for miles, and then 2 years in Alaska, and then some time with my parents in Iowa, I really miss that kind of country. But it took me moving to a big city to realize that it really was a blessing to grow up in those types of places. I remember running around the neighborhood with my friends, or playing football in a nearby lot, or riding my dirtbike to so many places. I´ve hiked a lot of mountains in Alaska, and seen so many beautiful things there. I´ve experienced so much that the kids here have never experienced, and will probably never experience. I have been very blessed. I can´t wait to take Eliana to the United States, and show her my country, and where I am from.

My that is a huge lemon. Do they taste good? Glad to hear you guys are doing so well. We are all fine and enjoying the warmer weather. I'm excited to start working in the garden. I want to plant some new things this year.
You all take care. Love you, Carol
