This past weekend several Peruvian physicians from Lima, who are involved in the Christian Physician Organization of Peru, arrived in Cusco. They came to Cusco to meet with Christian physicians here and to host a program called "Saline Solution," which teaches and encourages Christian doctors to be sharing their faith with their patients. Nathan was really excited to get to hear this program in Spanish, since he has only ever heard it in English. Several medical students as well as dental students attended this conference. It was so neat because Nathan was able to reconnect with one of the medical students that we met in 2009 when we were here touring and "scoping out" Cusco. The medical student seemed very surprised and excited to see Nathan and to hear more about the medical student ministry that will be beginning soon.
On Sunday night we had all of the physicians who had come from Lima in our home for dinner. It was a rather late dinner, as it started at 9:00pm, but I am quickly adjusting to late meal times. We had a wonderful time getting to know them and also enjoying King Ranch Chicken, a true Texas food. We are so thankful for these new friendships.
Here are a few pictures:
