The green fruit is actually a limon. Kind of a cross between a lemon and a lime. It's much smaller than either a lemon or a lime, about the size of a golf ball.
Our taxi-ride home from the grocery store stuck with me, however. I was reminded of the fact that we are witnesses every day, in every situation. I can't remember exactly how the coversation started, but the driver and Heather got into a discussion about the differences between Mormon beliefs and ours. Heather's connection with Peru Mission came up and the driver knew about some of the Mission's work. He goes to a Catholic church in the Arevalo district, and has seen the clinic being built. He was excited to see that because it will be the first clinic in the area, and the people need it. It was a really neat reminder of the Mission's presence and visibility in Trujillo. It also makes me that much more aware of the awesome responsibility and honor I've been given in the design of the Arevalo sanctuary.
One additional prayer request from me: I came down with a cold this weekend. It's not a terrible one, but enough to be annoying and tiring. Pray that I would get better quickly and not be cranky or a wimp about it. ;)

Feed a cold; starve a fever!
Your hubby told me that things are rolling along well with your project already! One thing is for sure--there is no other Christian mission in Peru who has a better person to design their churches than Peru Mission in Trujillo! And if you are ever doubting your skills as an architect, you can rest assured that "better" is ALWAYS more than the sum of your mental and physical abilities in this life and so often these two are the least portion of the "better" that God's grace provides to you.
