misión santiago

This afternoon we visited a friend from Puerto Supe who is about to complete one year in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation center here in Pucallpa. Seeing him today-- healthy, happy, and sober-- made me remember that our God is a miracle-worker. The center is run by a SAM missionary who has been in Peru for ages and is making a huge difference in the lives of addicts and alcoholics.

In addition to seeing our friend, I also got to see enough animals to qualify as a petting zoo! There were turkeys, ducks, and goats roaming around plus some very chunky pigs in pens. Somewhere on the property they were hiding over 1000 chickens, which they raise to generate income. I think we could probably drop off our dogs someday without much notice-- Taza looks just like the baby goats and Ellie resembles the pigs.
