Joel's parents (Jerry and Jackie) and his Aunt Jan came to visit us for a few weeks. It was wonderful to see family!!! Along with lots of hugs, they brought us some special gifts and comforts of home (including Jackie's fudge, DVDs, and pictures from home.) We were thrilled to share our lives at the orphanage with them! We took our trip to Cuzco and then spent a week and a half introducing them to the children, working on various projects and visiting the sights around Trujillo.
