Off to Peru

No, not me, but my little boy!! I dropped our youngest son, Jeremy, off at the church at 3am this morning for a missions trip to Cusco, Peru. I, mom, had to fight back the tears, as I watched my 16 year old little boy (5'9" Not so little) go with our church group to Peru.
Today I am a proud, but nervous, mom!! Their flight schedule has them changing planes four times and some are less than one hour lay overs. I pray they have a safe journey and make a difference to the people of Peru.

Jeremy is the one standing in the back right hand side. His head is the tallest one in the picture.

Ah Brenda - it will change his life forever! My son at 16 went to France and he has been a traveler ever since - he's the "gypsy kid" that I write about in the blog. I had no idea when he went at 16 that it would change him and his life - all for the better!
Can't wait to hear his stories when he returns........

Brenda, That is so great. Your son will come home a different man. Yes, man not boy.

Hope your son has a very fulfilling time & takes lots of pitures. I have a friend who went there last year & she came home with amazing shots. Will they be going to Macchu Picu?

Thanks all for your comments. I will have Jeremy share a mini trip report via my blog after he returns.
