When my Peruvian mama told me that she would be in the Atlanta area around the same time that we would be driving through, we were able to work it out to see her. Her hosts, Joy & Don, welcomed us and our circus into their home for a meal and a lot of Spanish/English conversation. Laura requested that she get to cook all of us one of my favorite meals, Lomo Saltado. I can not adequately describe the joy it was for me to introduce Laura to my children. I hope one day they will understand how God used this woman to develop a love for South America in my heart, and how simply being willing to host folks in your home turned into a blessing and career for her.
Asking her to carry a quilt I made for her future grandson back to Peru!
The kids loved the birds that were visiting Joy & Don's deck; Austin asked me to take a photo of him with this poster.
Laura knows the way to make quick friends of kids: take silly face selfies.
While it was just a couple of hours, we were so thankful for them! And it re-inspired our dream of taking our whole family (when it's a lot less work!) to Peru.
