We are going back to Peru!

Dear friends and family
 The time is here.  We are going back to Peru!  The RCA gave us permission to return even though we are only 50+% funded; thank goodness because Albino received his US citizenship, and we have to go to comply with the immigration law (See previous posts for more explanation).
 
Tuesday, October 8, is D-Day for us.  Planning and packing are in progress; piles are everywhere around our place.  Goodbyes are happening.  And, we are looking forward to the “hellos” as well.  In Peru we will visit with friends in Lima for a few days before heading home to Cusco.  In Cusco we will stay at a friends’ home until we find our own rental apartment or house.  A last minute added blessing is my mom’s offer to helps us make the transition to Peru; she will be coming with us to help watch Doriana and give an extra look at potential places to live.  We are very grateful for her generosity.

Bittersweet is the best way to describe how we are feeling now.  We covet your prayers as we head back into ministry full time, continue to raise funds from a distance, make the transition to a “new” country, take our toddler daughter with us, and everything else you can imagine.  Thank you for your continued support.
We’ll do our best to continue to keep you updated on the Rodriguez family’s transition.

Blessings,

Albino, Sandy, Doriana, and Baby Rodriguez
