I accompanied them to Mariscal Gamarra - officially to translate (which was encouragingly successful, both in Spanish and Quechua), but I also ended up learning a lot about vision testing, doing some preaching (about our desire for spiritual sight), and chatting and praying with members of the village (who are almost all Christians).
 |
| This man wanted glasses specifically so that he could read the Bible - it was wonderful to be able to help him do so! |
 |
| Working out the Quechua for "which way is this arrow pointing?" |
 |
| Trying out the prescription. We also gave everyone sunglasses as a lot of them have sore eyes from the glare and the dust. |
 |
| Waiting to have their eyes tested. |
 |
| Hanging out with the kids... there are a couple of families here that I get on really well with but I don't often get to visit. |
 |
| The dental team made the most of the crowd and gave their talk about teeth cleaning. I had my usual role - holding the banner! |
 |
| At the pastor's house - crushing white beans to make tarwi for our dinner. |
 |
| We were late leaving because this lady asked me to pray with her... no-one minded! |
 |
| Our sleeping arrangements - sheepskins make a very comfy mattress. |
