Duck!

14 Feb 2016

Dogs are so common in church in Peru that they appear in several of our pictures we've taken almost as if they were an unintended game: "Can you find the dog in this picture?"  Last night we had our first duck.  For reasons that I can't quite understand, one of the couples brought their duck to last night's Valentine's Eve marriage seminar.  They did explain that their daughter has made it a pet so now they don't feel like they can eat it, but they didn't explain why they brought it to church.  I couldn't think of a way to tie a duck into my talk about forgiveness and serving one another.  I couldn't even think of a biblical reference to ducks to make a joke about.  But, it was a well-behaved duck.  It didn't interrupt by yelling 'Aflac!'
