News From Perú

October 19, 2011

Greetings, family and friends,

Thank you so much for your prayers and for your notes of encouragement after Alethia´s foot surgery! She is doing well, and the nerve that was released by the surgery is beginning to come back to life. That will be a process that takes time. Tomorrow the stitches come out. Jim has recovered well from having a molar pulled.

Next week is the anniversary week of the Bible college here in Trujillo...celebrating 40 years of training people for Christian service! It will also be Prospective Student Week, with young people staying in the dorms, visiting classes, and particpating in the anniversary events of the week. Please pray for the safety of those who will be traveling to come to these events, and for the special speakers and programs.

Our two youngest sons are studying at Faith Baptist Bible College in Ankeny, IA. Daniel is in his second year and works in campus security. Timothy is in his first year, and just yesterday started orientation for his new job with FedEx! He is very thankful to have work. Both are enjoying their classes and doing well. Our son David continues to work fulltime as swimming pool cleaner at home in Riverside, CA, and daughter Sarah and her husband Matt live and work in Riverside also. We are thankful for each one of them and miss them. At the same time, we are thankful that we can serve the Lord here in Perú as missionaries, and grateful for your part in our ministry through your prayers and gifts!
