PERU: CONGRESS ON MARRIAGE

Wednesday- Thursday, September 19th-20th:
It was select and pack time.  So we picked out a few “rags” (not really but you get the drift) and stuffed them into our carry-on luggage, dropped them in Marco’s car and headed out to Independencia,  Principe de Paz (Prince of peace) - Pastor Gilberto & Doris Varillas for a three day “Congress on Marriage.”

This “city,” Metro-Lima is so large and can become a major parking lot during rush hour that it was deemed best if we just spent the time there instead of driving 2 hours plus each day.  Pastor Varillas is remodeling a large 14 room house so there is plenty of room and we have the place to ourselves most of the day.  And of course one of the most important items – NO! Starbucks is not close – but Wifi!

This is one well-planned event filled with youth participating in there dance, drama depicting the “Art of Falling in Love” and serving the adults with a small sandwich and a drink during break.

Pastor Gilberto has PowerPoint Presentations depicting the divorce statistics, the resulting crimes by youth and various other information to highlight the need and emphasize the need for the teaching we are doing at this “Congress on Marriage.”

We have been splitting the teaching time.  Marilyn with her “practical insightful from the eyes of a woman and mother” and me with my standard teaching sprinkled with my natural humor – believe it or not – I do have humor inside of me – but it only flows when I am outside of the US.  (They put people in white suits with locks for less than that in the US and I am not a candidate for such a suit.)

Tonight, (Friday) we wrap it up.  So standby for the conclusion – to arrive – when?  I am not sure as we will get back to our “home” very late or early (not sure which) and we begin Saturday at 8:45 AM.

So until you read more ramblings,

Thanks for your prayers,

Dr D & Marilyn
