Wow! This is way overdue!
Thank you all for continuing to pray in the absence of updates. I will try and do better I promise:)
I'll try and be succinct for this post and give you vital details of whats been happening the past 4 months or so...
Family life:
Pete is now a busy busy busy 1 year old who is trying desperately to walk solo. He's taken several steps, but isn't quite ready to charge forward alone. Thank goodness! He's just cut tooth number 5 and loves quinoa, apples, chips and coca cola. Yeah...he's my child.
We recently enjoyed a visit from David's parents. They spent about 10 days with us and we traveled to Huancaya, Huancayo (2 different places), and finally we made it to Machu Picchu! It was really amazing to finally see it and definitely worth the trip. They spoiled us by taking care of Pete and doing all the dishes (Thanks Betty!). We even did our first night away from Pete, he did great. Mama and Papa did ok...
David and I are just starting a Bible study "Sacred Marriage" with another IMB couple here in Lima. We are enjoying it so far and look forward to the challenges it throws our way:)
Ministry:
I'm not even sure where to begin. David and I are currently Team Strategy Leaders for ConnectPeru (combined REAP North and South). David is heading up US Partner Training (amongst a million other things). He is coaching about 80 some of our US SC churches. The inbox is very full. I am working on assigning interpreters which is great, though sometimes the equivalent of doing a seating chart for a political dinner...I am also starting to work some with the affinity media team based here in Lima, doing some editing. You know, in all my spare time? Ha! I've really enjoyed getting back into that a little bit and shaking the dust off of my editing skills.
Prayer Needs:
Please keep us in your prayers:
-Pray for our team, for unity and refreshment as we all work hard!
-Pray for the busy season that looms ahead:)
-Pray for clear direction and vision for what the future holds for the ministry here and for us personally.
-Pray for God to raise up nationals to do the work here!
Thank you all so much! We'd love to hear from you, and pray for you. Please feel free to give us a holler!
