Bible College Graduation, 2007

On December 8, 2007, the Bible College had their graduation. This picture was taken from the second floor of the classroom building.



Here are the graduates for 2007.



Jon and Hannah played in an instrumental ensemble during the graduation. They are positioned separately to best use the microphone so everyone could here all the instruments.

Christmas in the Plaza de Armas, Trujillo

The next three pictures were taken Christmas 2006 at the downtown plaza. Every year, businesses and educational institutions rent a small section of the plaza to display a Christmas scene. From Dec. 15th through January 5th, the display is ready for the public. I think everyone of the 700,000+ people living here must visit because it is packed with people every night.
In Peru, we are allowed to have public displays of the nativity scene. Jesus arrives in the manger on the 25th.

Last year, we went with some friends to see the plaza. It is common to take pictures of the scenes and also take family pictures there. The wife was not in the picture, though she was also with us.


Even Jon got into the Christmas spirit. The kids also slid down the cement railing.
