Black Widows

We arrived home after two weeks of camp to find that a family of black widows invaded our house. There were seven in all, four in our garage and three in the front patio. If you double clic on the picture, you should be able to enlarge the photo so you can see the red spot. The yellow blog is the crushed egg sac. Jon played with the spider before killing it. We couldn't get a good picture of it when it was alive.



We even saw eleven egg sacs. Hopefully we killed them in time.



It is true. The female is bigger and kills the male. I found this a few days later in a small metal area in our garage as I was closing the garage door. I am very careful now where I put my hands and anytime I am in the garage, I am looking for possible spiders.

The hotel ran out of water several times during the week. Jon had to help deliver the water.

Pastor's Camp in Sullana

The landscape between Trujillo and Sullana (6 hours north). I guess it could grow on you.


Jon is helping the leaders set up for camp. You need lots of eggs for 200 people.



Lots and lots of eggs. Zac also helped.



This is the hotel where Jon and the others stayed. It is on the ocean front but it is old and not used very often. Jon's room was on the right, first floor.

The invasion which took place across from the church. For the moment, everything is calm, though there still isn't a solution to the problem.



The famous white house across from the church.





We now have a Kentucky Fried Chicken here in Trujillo. They have a wonderful play place for older children.



Jon took this picture from the KFC second floor. This is our new small mall. It is open to the air. I guess you could call it an open air mall. We are very happy to now have a place like this.
