Youth Congress

We are certainly excited about all that God is doing here in Peru. On Tuesday evening, the Youth Congress will kick off. This is perhaps the biggest event of the year here in Arequipa as young people will be coming to the meeting from all over Peru, Chile, and Bolivia. Please pray that the Lord will use Missionary Jeff Bush as he preaches this week.

My wife and I continue to pick up more of the language each and every day. Sometimes it is frustrating to not only understand what people are saying but why they are doing what they are doing. A different culture and a different way of thinking are the two main things that contribute to things being done differently.

We are very excited to now have our table and chairs. We grew very accustomed to standing around the counter and, yes, sitting on the floor in the kitchen when we ate. Now, we have our table and chairs which were very well-made by a very good carpenter here in town.

Thank the Lord for all that He has done and continues to do in Arequipa, Peru.
