Home safe...
...and no, it didn't take us three months to travel back to Northern Ireland!! Sorry for the long delay in finishing off our Peru blog. We thought we had left it so late to update the site that things were beyond the point of no return - but some friends have been asking us recently 'when are you going to finish your blog?', so here goes!
Peru was an incredible experience, one which we are still trying to assimilate in many ways. Both of us think about our time in Peru everyday, and still get a quickening of the pulse when we look through our photos. We feel that we learned a great deal about ourselves, the work of mission, and also our ministry back here at home. Our last few days in Lima were occupied chiefly with travelling through the city, and absorbing something of the intriguing atmosphere of the sprawling capital. Andrew preached twice in the seminary church, and the next day we boarded our flights for home. In the providence of God all of our return flights went smoothly and on time. All the more remarkable considering that Heathrow went into a terror alert meltdown the next day. We want to take this opportunity to thank everyone who prayed us through our Peru '06 experience. God answered your prayers abundantly.
Would we go back again? Absolutely, and we'd recommend the experience to anyone.
Well, that wraps things up for the blog. If you've followed our journey, and have faithfully checked this site since our return in the hope that we might make good on our promise and do a final update, then please leave a comment and let us know.
In case anyone is wondering, the food in the picture above is guinea pig.
Hasta luego, hermanos!

Welcome home! What an experience, we enjoyed reading all about it and praying for you. Andrew, does this really have to be the last blog entry we ever read from you? Has the scribbler really set down his pen for the last time? Pity - anyway I'm just waiting on the first book!!! Can I pre-order my copy on Amazon?
Hey I am Peruvian - currently living in the US ; I am really pleasant that you had a good time in my country - as many of the others Latin America countries we have a lot of poverty and that is why we have to work to help those who do not have the opportunity to have something - I hope you liked the food because id delicious and by the way as many Peruvians I LOVE SOCCER !!!!!!
Cheers
I'm a late follower I'm afraid, but I did enjoy the guinea pig that day, even if I didn't get into the picture and my wife only got half in!
