Family Update
Things in Cusco continue to go back and forth between lockdowns and opening up a little bit. Sundays are currently a full lockdown with churches continuing to be closed and people not allowed to leave their houses. Beyond that, Easter weekend (Thursday-Sunday) was also a full quarantine which made the holiday particularly difficult and lonely. However, we were able to celebrate with our friends, the Torres family, that following Monday. The time and fellowship with them was fun and refreshing. Given the problems in vaccine distribution and lack of availability here it looks as though Peru may continue in this pattern for the remainder of 2021.
On a more positive note, the kids are finishing up their school year with Betsy and Ethan is cruising along in his theological studies. Titus and Nora both celebrated birthdays in March. Titus turned 12 and Nora turned 9! Next week, Betsy and her good friend Annie will be traveling to a retreat for missionary women/wives for some much needed refreshment. We are also in the midst of preparing for our furlough which begins in June (Lord willing). We are really looking forward to reporting what the Lord has done as well as spending time with family and friends.
