Peru Crew

Both Doug and I had the amazing priveledge to be able to travel to Peru on a short term mission trip with our church's singles ministry. I went in '96, Doug in '98. Both trip were incredible and the relationships with the people there as well as our teams remain very special to us both.

One of the full time missionaries that we worked with over there was Cynthia Sundman. She is an amazing woman of God and has such a heart for the young women of Peru. It was an honor to work beside her and is always so great to see her when she is in town on furlough. She is currently home and so we got together with some of Doug's team this weekend to see Cynthia and celebrate her 25 (yes, 25) years serving in South America.  Thanks, Colleen, for opening up your beautiful home for us to get together!


 Our kids were the only kids there, but they were quite amused and entertained by Buster Brown, Colleen's dog. 

They couldn't stop laughing and playing with him.. it was pretty sweet!
