Three Weeks in Peru

Three Weeks in Peru...

Memories & Impressions

by Dianne McGregor Campbell

The trip took twenty-four hours, including long layovers in Houston and Lima. I hadn't slept and was tired...but then I would remember. Two little granddaughters would be waiting for me at the airport in Cusco.

Somehow, the fatigue was gone the minute I saw them - two beautiful, blonde little girls standing in line with my son Bill...starkly contrasted among all the Peruvians waiting for their families.

It had been over a year since I had seen Bill, Jeanine and the girls. I had never met Kate, my new little granddaughter - a stunning, feisty two-year old Peruvian doll baby. Being a missionary doctor through Mission to the World for the past four years, Bill and Jeanine and their family have faced a lot of challenges. Not seeing family for years at a time are one of those challenges. Admittedly, not an easy one for this mother and grandmother either...
