Hello from Trujillo

Sorry to disappoint.....it's just tired little me sending a quick update from the the Barry family-this may not contain the laugh-factor of Jeff's entries. Neither of us have journaled b/c of busyness these past few days. we keep mentioning funny/interesting bits of Peruvian culture that we hope to blog a/b(preferably Jeff) in the near future. Jeff has begun his semi-full-time job @ the language institute-he teaches 5 hours a day(plus class prep and grading). We almost slept in our place tonight, but our sheets and pillowcases were not ready to put on the bed-@ the laundromat. So the Eby family has taken us in once again-we stayed up talking and laughing w/ Josh and Robin a little too late. In the a.m. @ 8:00, I am going to the spanish private school to hopefully have kate and Hall enrolled and ready to start later this week or next Monday. There is a sweet montessori school very nearby where we might send Ellie-belly. A couple other little ones in the mission also attend.  Thank you for your continued prayers, dear family and friends. I can feel it-REALLY!!!! We will send more photos w/ captions and specific prayer requests in the next couple of days. Thank you for joining w/ us, reading our updates and caring for us. we love reading your comments so much! It is nearly midnight and a/b 4 hrs. past my usual Memphis bedtime. One final thought for us all...... Jeff always converses w/ our cab drivers and the young man we had this evening told us that he works 12 hrs a day 7 days a week-and he said it so matter -of -factly and actually quite contentedly. May we be content in our place today.   Love, Amy
