Hughey says: Dallas today, Peru tomorrow!
KristIn: Our team set a record today - we did drama training all day in the HOT Dallas sun, and they did not complain one time.
Amazing today, asombroso manana.
We have survived 2 half days of drama training, 1 full day, and countless hours of teaching. The Lord has moved - His presence has hovered here this week.
And, thank you Jesus training is finally over! My rear was sore last week, and now thanks to wonderful drama training, my all is sore. (However, a bad daddy song is coming out of all that practice, so just brace yourselves...)
Tomorrow evening we fly to Lima, Peru over night. And then midday Friday we will head further north to Trujillo, Peru on a 9 hour bus ride. We will spend the night there, and then spend 5 more glorious hours to our first final destination - Chiclayo. So. You can be praying for travel in the next few days.
So, the other day KristIn and her sister went to Walmart, main purpose to find me a watch. They get there, spend a while looking and then call me to tell me there aren't any good ones, so I proceed to tell her that I'd prefer a velcro one, and it has to have a built in compass!
Needless to say, my sister and i searched for a good ten minutes for said watch. We couldn't find one with a compass. There were several dials and such in all the faces - but we didn't really know which ones were compasses... So. We returned to Hughey (Jordan) with his money and without a watch.
I couldn't really understand how you would be unable to tell whether or not it had a compass on it. It's a fat knob on the side that spins!
(Hughey never said that it would be on the side!)
So, last night, leaders make a Walmart run, KristIn and I proceed to the watches section, I walk up the kiosk and immediately grab a watch EXACTLY like I had described.
Moral of the story: Hughey is a jerk. Just kidding. But really, we looked long and hard for a compass. We got an A for effort.
And an F for:
eyesight
sense of direction
and very basic knowledge of a compass.
The End. We hope you enjoy this post written by the both of us. We love each of you! Thanks for your support. Pray for our students and their immediate fears, pray for the health of our contact in country, and pray for the Lord to already be at work among the people of Peru.
Thanks for the laughter!

I believe I'm gonna enjoy this blog while you're away. No doubt.
Kristin, we have taught you not to call people jerks! You will lick the soap when you get home! Love, MOM
I love your mother. This post makes my whole day hilarious. I can hear both of your voices in this post for sure. :) I'm praying for your travel to be safe, peaceful, and fun.
I'm going to need to see a picture of this watch.
Jordan,
what happened to the watch you bought before you left??????????
How did the 9 hour bus ride go? I hope you put on your happy face. Ya'll should be on that bus at this very moment....Prayer is needed!
All is well here. Two weeks today till we leave. Anna Grace and I are really excited!
Be agressive for Jesus, you are His voice.
Love you,
Mom (Hughey)
Kathy Dutt,
I have the urge to get your phone number incase I need to apologize for something or explain some comment. Wish we could have met before all this posting got started.
We ARE a Christian family that loves Jesus! :)

My son, I have not taught you well in how to deal with women. For that I apologize...to them (the women). I have awaited your call all day...anxious to hear your voice. I hope you were not acting like a woman and just teasing me. Hope the bus ride went well - do something chivalrous (help KDutt with her bag or something) and she'll get over you being a jerk. Well, she really won't - they never forget, but a point or two on the positive side won't hurt.
Dad (no number included - I don't want any women calling me to complain about my boy - I did try, really)
Dear Kathy Dutt,
Please know that I have known Hughey (Jordan) for a long, long time. Do not rely on him or his Walmart compass for directions. Please inform him that in the southern hemisphere, compass needles actually points South. My recommendation is to ask an indigenous person, not Hughey (Jordan).
Regards,
Eagle Scout Dave
PS – I don’t consider him a jerk, just directionally challenged.
