Today we started to build a Chapel which will be finished tomorrow. I will see patients in clinic after construction. The last photo posted shows the people waving to us as they stand on the site of the new Chapel.
Everywhere we go the people recognize us as Americans and give us thumbs up and yell "gracias". Their view of Americans is these are the people that travel here to help us. Back home I turn on the news and I hear about how the world hates us and that we need to change. Thats definitely not the view of this part of the world The people of Peru couldn't love Americans more. They cheer Americans in the streets. It's so inspiring to know this affection shown towards us has nothing to do with us but rather the generations of good people that have come here before.

Hello Kelly, Jeff and Boys. I wouldn't want Obama to hear this because he'd, more than likely, want to go to Peru and tell everyone how bad we Americans are for being world-wide oppressors.
