Literacy Class in Huallaga Quechua Village

Trip to Quechua Village
Here is a somewhat modified announcement Kristine sent out about her trip:
"This past August the Huallaga Quechua Bible was dedicated at a gathering of more than 3,000 people. Having the Bible in their language has sparked an interest among the people to learn to read. There are some adult literacy teachers in the community, but they are only minimally trained and have asked for help. In response to their request, next week our literacy class is going on a week-long mission’s trip to the Huallaga community where the students will put into practice what they have learned this semester by training the Quechua teachers. We will go by bus from the coast over the Andes mountain peaks to the city of Huanuco where the course will be held."
Here are some pictures of Kristine's journey:
Kristine had a rough time with altitude sickness as they went over the Andes mountains on the way to Huanuco. She had problems with bug bites in Huanuco. But she had a great time with no trouble in the village. She didn't even get sick when she ate the fermented potatoes. Thank you to all who prayed for her.

My Computer Village
Here is a kinda sad picture:
Out of these six sick computers I have gotten one to work well enough to use and one almost ready to use. The other four have various kinds of hardware problems. I guess I could get philosophical about it and talk about how life is like that. Some things work and some things don't but we all have to muddle through anyway......I would rather just get the stupid things fixed and out of my bedroom!
