Jeff just left for Pucallpa (via Lima). I'm sad to see him go but super grateful for the visit. When was the last time we had a visitor? I think early August. Since the Cubas' departure Oct. 4, we haven't spoken English to anyone but each other here in Puerto. They've been lonely months.

My stomach muscles ache from laughing so hard over the past few days, and overall, there's a new lightness in my heart. We needed Jeff's visit in many ways, but mostly, I'm grateful for his solidarity, understanding, encouragement, and wisdom. It's been good to have an outsider looking in and explaining what he sees. I know our vision gets narrow as we plod along.
