An Unexpected Friend

We are very excited to be reacquainted here with a friend from back home. Two days before leaving the States, we had the pleasure of meeting Seth, the boyfriend of a dear friend of ours, Jess Nakles. Seth is a missionary to Peru with Pioneers, and at the time he was raising financial support, not expecting to be in the country until the fall. He knew he'd be coming to Arequipa first, but we didn't expect to see him for very long before we moved on to Lima. So it was quite a happy surprise to receive an email from Jess this past weekend saying that Seth was arriving in a few days, and to find that he'd be studying at the same institute! He came over to our apartment the night he arrived, and we've had a great time already catching up on things back home. After a crash course in Spanish (6 weeks), Seth will be working in Pucallpa. This picture is for you, Jess!
