Finding a New Home

(taken from a recent online article...)

"A Magellanic penguin is reported to have travelled thousands of kilometres from its natural habitat of southern Chile, all the way to Peru.

The penguin, native to the Magellan islands in southern Chile, travelled an estimated 3,100 miles to reach Peru's Paracas national reserve.

Scientists at the Paracas national reserve believe the penguin made the journey alone.

Biologist David Orosco told Channel 7 Peru that the bird had been kept in its 'natural habitat.'

'It has not been kept in a cage or anything like that. It has been kept where it can live naturally,' said Orosco.

Scientists fear the solitary penguin may be rejected by the Humboldt penguins living at the Paracas national reserve.

Officials at the reserve say they are attempting to contact their colleagues in Chile to return the bird to its natural habitat."

Talk about a bird being out of place!

This article made me think of the upcoming major changes our family will go through as we find a new home in Chile. We will be like Penguins out of place. There will be no "officials" to return us to our "natural habitat".

Please continue to pray for our family as we will need to adapt to a new language, culture, location, and responsibilities.
