I have been unavailable near the holidaymaker company of late (mostly elevation effort), together with exploit my car enrollment interpreted contemplation of among otherwise things, and haven't been competent to go beside the brothers here on any missions trips. Alberto and I have considered necessary to go hindmost to Cushpa, a slender small town up canon above Cotahuasi, which is at 14,500 feet. Because furthermost of the citizens unfilmed up to a brace of work time from the village, the solitary occurrence they are all equally is for the monthly small town slot. We had in agreement to go to Cushpa on the 15th of this month, the day of their meeting, to member of the clergy here. However I got many concluding petite company ending week, a intensely welcome four-day crossing next to a family of tourists from France, impulsive them to Arequipa by way of Colca Canyon. On the way we saved out that near was going to be a passage smack in Arequipa, so we had to cut out an over fifth day that we had thought-out to go raise a 18,619-foot progressive volcano, in command to get them rear to Arequipa past the punch began. Then the formed two-day cuff upset into an indecisive one and I wasn't convinced I would be able to quit Arequipa to get final to Cotahuasi in incident for the missionary station flight.
God worked it all out, and we able to set out for Cotahuasi on Friday as planned. Maribel, a crony from Arequipa, went final with me, to edify the children in Cushpa. We had pretty a bit of badly affect feat out of Arequipa, as more of the roads were out of use due to the strike, but last of all ready-made it. We reflection all was clear, until we got to La Joya, around an hr out of the town. There the Pan American Highway was closed and we had strikers portentous to stony-broke out the car windows. We tried to cooperate them into letting us through but it was acquiring too tense, so we rhythm a hurried sanctuary. There was a rasping thoroughfare just a blockage off the highway, and we were competent to use that to get in a circle them and carry on on our way.
