After one of our visits in Poroy we ran into a man on the street. He come up and asked my partner if she was a tour guide and if he could have 2 soles. Well we quickly told him that I live here and that we work together and that we would like to help him.

He was very ver persistant about getting the money and told us that he just had spent 15 years in jail and that he just wanted to get home to his family. Well in fact the bus price to Hanta is 2 soles. So we waited for a bus to come buy but as we waited we wanted to know more.

Well he didn´t say much and he sort of talked in circles but he said that we were able to come and visit him some time and talk about the gospel with him.

So we were able to get a contact. Whoop whoop

Despues de efectuar una visita en Poroy un señor se hacerco penso que yo era guia de turista por que me encontraba con Emily y dijo si le podriamos dar 2 soles para su pasaje comento que unos policias lo dejaron libre estubo en la carcel por 15 años y queria ir a su casa y estar con su familia despues de una larga conversacion le di mi nombre y dijo que me llamaba igual a su hija en un momento del dialogo comenzo a llorar ,menciono tambien que lo golpearon en la carcel y entre otras cosas .esperamos su carro y tomamos sus datos para llegar con el y hacerle una visita.

The ants go marching in.

So Hanta is a little town ontop of a hill. Its really cute and small. Kathy and I went up to explore and we walked around for 2 hours, up and down every street and saw a total of 6 people. And to get up there we have to take a Combi (public bus), taxi and a moto taxi (a taxi from a motorcycle). So some times it is an adventure to get up there.
Its a real quiet and quant town but there are no people during the week. Only in the mornings and late afternoons and at night. It because the people there go to other towns to work or to the town below. The town below is full of work and is more lively.
The first time that we went to visit we stop at a Jardin (preschool) to look around and see if we could do a kids festival there. When we walked in the school was out but there were some kids hanging around still. So we stayed and talked and just made some friends. The scond time we went we saw the same kids and the ran up to hug and kiss us. I am its hard not to spot a blonde white girl down here.
This town is going to be a little tough because we have to plan so much around it but they will not be left out.

Hanta es un pueblo muy pequeño,las personas no estan al medio dia y gran parte de la tarde esta como desolado. El 8 de diciembre se hacerca una fiesta en honor a una virgen. Para llegar tomamos tres vehiculos como un taxi, una combi, un motocar.

Nuestra primera vez en hanta estabamos recorriendo el lugar depronto me encontraba con una necesidad, yo necesitaba usar el baño, pregunte a una tienda y ella me dijo que podria pedir permiso a un jardin. El jardin se llamaba Santa Rosa estaban unos niños a si que Emily conversaba con ellos y yo estaba en el baño.

La segunda vez en Hanta tambien caminamos para llegar al distrito de Hanta en esos momentos unas ñinas se hacercaron y abrazaron a Emily nos reconocieron por que habiamos estado en su Jardin,conocimos a un señor el tambien nos reconocio.
