Good Morning!

A quick update for all of you to be praying for!

It seems little Pete is anxious to get going on life "outside"! My appointment Thursday was exciting with some fetal monitoring which showed him super healthy- and a lot of contractions I didn't know I was having...

But he's dropped and engaged and I'm at 2 cms already... so it could be any minute now.

My doc has me on meds and bed rest trying to make it to Monday which marks 37 weeks and the safe zone. Thankfully, my "mature" placenta seems to be functioning just fine which is great.

So be praying for us all, that Pete will stay healthy, that I will be patient and calm, and that David will stop staring at me like I might have the baby any second now!

We have a houseguest as well right now- Rolando. Pray that we can still be hospitable in light of the circumstances.

Hopefully my next post will me as a parent:) Love to you all~

Hey!

Things are going just fine here in Lima, Peru! Its a HOT summer here in La Molina- where the sun always shines (and the dust makes you really really wish for rain...).

I'm 34 weeks along - so a month and a half to go (according to Hoyle). Pete is baking nicely and pleasing us with a strong heartbeat. He is not pleasing my doctor who thinks he may be large. But I also learned that to him, anything over 6lbs is large. We are a small people here in Peru.

He has also caused me to graduate to wearing David's t-shirts because I don't have anything comfortable that fits. Hope I don't stretch em out too far!

David is out this week with a vision/medical/vbs/evangelism trip. Sound complicated? Good thats what I was shooting for! He has taken this team from Columbia, SC to the Huallaga Quechua of Huanuco, seeking the potential of a new Strategy Coordinator Church Partner.

They headed out yesterday and return Friday. Teammate Tommy Smith drove over from his digs in Huaraz to help out. They've got 5 great translators with them. And several members of JAWCA (a Christian quechua group who promotes literacy and Biblical training in the quechua language). There will most likely be a lot of 3 way translating going on this week- English to Spanish to Quechua.

Please pray for them this week:

Safety in travel to and from the villages each day. Protection from mudslides.

Organized and efficient ministry- this is a large team of about 21 total- thats a lot of coordinating to do...

Open hearts and honest responses to the gospel

Mutual encouragement through the medical and vbs opportunities

Guidance and leadership for the team from SC in a future partnership

Sensitivity to cultural differences (on both sides!)

Energy and clarity for translators

And most importantly- that God will be glorified. That the team will become less and He will become more.

Thank you so much for your prayers! We are as always desperate for them. We'd love to be praying for you - please send us some updates and requests so that we can specifically lift you up before the Father.
