Hey everybody! And Happy Thanksgiving this week!
Now, we don't celebrate Thanksgiving here in Peru, but we are still managing 2 meals:) We'll have a large mission-wide lunch on Thursday and then Mindy and I are planning a meal on Saturday for some of our Peruvian friends. So my freezer is filled up with a huge turkey and my meal plan for the week is impressive to say the least!
I hope you all enjoy your time with family, celebrating and giving thanks to the Father for all of His blessings to us!
What's going on here in Peru? Well, we are staying awfully busy even though its the slow season. We are still helping keep things going here in Lima and working towards our ever-approaching official merge with REAPSouth. We were able to travel with our home church back to San Jose de Quero a few weeks ago. Though it was challenging with Pete (who experienced his first cold while on the trip). It was great to be back and see some familiar faces. This was a medical and discipleship trip and we enjoyed getting to go around and meet new folks who needed some medical attention, while visiting those we've had a relationship with for a while.
Pete is doing well, he has grown quite a bit and is mobil! Though in reverse:) He hasn't figured out how to crawl forward, though he can go backwards at an alarming rate!
He's teething which is a challenge, but still so much fun!
What's coming up...
We will be here in Lima for the next three weeks, helping out the teams that are coming down. But our main task continues to be looking towards the future and how to hand over our work to nationals and to make the merge as seamless as possible. Mid-December we travel to the US to be with our family at Christmas time. We are so thankful that we are able to do this and can't wait!
Please be praying for us!
Thanks to all of you
