We have nurses down here on this trip to Peru from Kent State Stark and Malone University. But the project was not planned as a medical outreach.
Enter God.
As the team was doing various construction jobs today at the Hannah's site we got a visit from an elderly lady named Julia. The Peterson family met Julia while walking to church last Sunday. They "went the wrong way" and met her on the street. Julia has a terrible infection on her foot that was not being tended or medicated properly.
Today Elisabeth and Jessica spent time with her, tenderly cleaning her wound and giving her some medication. 2 nurses who came to Peru to not be nurses were caregivers today. Julia left with tears in her eyes as she thanked them for their care, their concern, their touch.
It was yet another great day in Peru.

I am the Dean at Kent State University Stark. Who are the nurses that you have there from Kent Stark? Are they students or faculty? If you have any photos, or can get any of them as a group and/or with the Malone nurses, we would love to put it on our web page and maybe even do a story about it in our campus magazine.
Also, I'll be in Peru next week. How long will they be there?

How cool is that?? We always pray for opportunities to be the hands of Christ and Elisabeth and Jessica were given a special gift to be just that to Julia ... how wonderful! God is whispering to them, "Well done ... well done."
Pass on a hello to our RiverTree family and friends.
We love you, Man!
John and Lucia
