Most of today (8 hrs) has been spent on the bus, traveling to and from Taza's vet appointment (which lasted all of 10 minutes). Tim and I hid behind The Chamber and Anne of Green Gables respectively and survived the journey quite well. Despite all of the warnings we heard about traveling on New Year's Eve, we made it back by 7 pm.

The Cubases returned on the 29th with a team of young people from Wheaton Bible Church. They've been painting the market building, showing movies on the boardwalk (with related short messages about God), and are now prepping for a sports extravaganza on the beach. It's been fun having their energy in Puerto Supe.

Tonight we're celebrating 2009 Peruvian-style with a turkey, hot chocolate and Christmas bread at midnight. We're also celebrating having a full water tank again, after running out yesterday for the 5th time this month. I'm glad this shortage only lasted a day!

It's been a busy crazy month (well, year), and I know we have a lot to thank God for as we close it out tonight. I'm looking forward to all the twists and turns and blessings 2009 holds and feeling hopeful about this continuing journey.
