2010 Bienvenidos! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all!
I hope you all had a great time the end of 2009!
David and I are back in Peru-we came back about a week ago. We had a great time being back home and visiting folks. It was hard trying to see everyone and fit it all in- and frankly we needed a vacation from vacation! But we are very glad we got to spend Christmas at home and are grateful that we were able to do so.
I have not missed winter though! We were excited to have about a foot of snow the night we landed in D.C. and enjoyed that rarity- but I admit its nice to be back in warmer lands now!
We leave tomorrow with a team from Cambridge Baptist Church. We will spend tomorrow night in Huancayo and from there spend about 4 days in San Jose de Quero.
We are looking forward to getting back up into the mountains and seeing all the sweet brothers and sisters up there!
Please be praying for David and I in the following ways:
  • Our big decision lately has been whether or not to extend our term to a third year. We have decided to apply for the extension though the odds are not good that we will get it due to budget cuts. Pray for wisdom as we seek God's will on what's next for us.
  • Please pray for Lottie Moon Offerings this year. This is the money that keeps us missionaries on the field- pray that God will provide and those in leadership will be sensitive to where the money should best be spent.
  • Pray for continued language learning ( I just copy and paste this one every time).
  • Please pray for peace for our families as we change when we are coming home often.
Thanks so much to all of you- thanks for your prayers for us! We love you and I will update again after our trip!

wow, good to hear from you. I really sense God calling you there. I know His hand is upon you and you just seem fitted for this work. YOur countenance reflects HIs peace and direction. You certainly have our blessings. There is nothing like resting in the Father's hands. and being where He wants you to be. We will continue to pray and ask for His clear direction. much love mom o
