My friends arrived home from Peru yesterday, complete with a suitcase full of their favourite foodstuffs from there. They also brought me a T-shirt and a mug with Peruvian ethnic designs on them. I haven't heard much about their trip yet, as they were slightly jet-lagged and simply slept most of the day yesterday. Gabriela turned 13 while they were gone, and seems to have grown a little taller as well, so I'm experiencing what it must be like to be the "grandmother" of a teenager.
At ministry level, this week will include more coaching sessions, as well as a number of team meetings to prepare for a couples' retreat that we'll be holding at the leadership retreat centre next week.
