Buenas Dias todos! I hope everyone is doing well with the new school year, and upcoming fall! What happened to September???? It has slipped right out from under us here! Tomorrow will mark our 4th Sunday in Huanuco and I think it officially feels like home away from home for us now. Our apartment is all set up minus pictures for the walls that we are hoping to buy in the Inca Market in Lima. We hung the kitchen curtains yesterday and I had a tablecloth made for a whopping total of about $3. I am loving shopping in the market- its an adventure every time we go, but I love the options in fruits and vegetables and the aisles of potatoes! I like the vendors, some of whom are recognizing me. They call the women "mamita" a term of endearment I think...

David, I and our teammate Christine just completed another research trip earlier this week. We traveled out close to an area we've looked at before and then to a cluster of towns in the department of Pasco. We were able to find 2 more potential fields for ministry for strategy coordinator churches. Which is good news because we are about to get crazy busy here next week. I'm posting our schedule here for you- so you can pray for us as we go!

October 1-9: Vision Conference--> We will be taking 2 churches out to our department for vision trips. This conference includes 8 churches- please pray for this! Its a new idea- and David and I are really excited for it- but its a lot of work for our whole team.

October 10-11: Time with Blake Weaver- Christi "Holloway's" husband who will be in Lima for a conference! We are excited to see him and show him around a little!

October 12-14: Possible trip up to San Jose de Quero and Usibamba to encourage the believers there.

October 14-20: Vision trip with a church from VIRGINIA! woohooo!

October 23-30: Pastors Conference Trip with Crossroads Baptist Church in Panao.

November 7-14: Grace Community Baptist Church trip in San Jose and Usibamba

November 18-25: My parents are coming for a visit!!! I'm very excited about this!!!!

So as you can see there is very little spare time in the coming months. We are excited though- we've been doing a lot to prepare for this time and we covet your prayers for us.

Please also pray that our spanish will continue to improve, we will develop relationships with locals, and that we will be moldable in the Father's hands.

We love you all- let us know how you are!

Blog update:

Hello all and welcome to our first blog from Huanuco! We have officially moved here- and are in the process of setting up our new apartment. It is quite a process. So far we've bought a bed and mattress and our appliances. Our next goal is a kitchen table and hutch. So far I have no cabinets- so we need something to put the dishes in! Something to sit on would be nice to- since right now our only options are the bed or the floor. No spaghetti in bed. Anyway- we are getting a little more used to the heat here- its a big change from Lima- its sunny and hot right now. We've been struggling through conversations in the stores to buy what we need, though we've made mistakes and I'm sure have been taken advantage of. But hey, not much we can do about that.
The drive out here was good- I actually braved the roads for about 5 hours of the trip! It wasn't as horrible as I thought it would be. But it was a relief when David took over.
Please be praying for us during this transitional time of setting up house, making new friends, and learning a new city.
Also praise God with us as we celebrate our 4^th anniversary on the 10th!

Thanks you all- miss and love you.
