OUR FIRST TWO WEEKS IN PERU

We arrived along with our 13 duffles and suitcses and 3 carry-ons. Were thrilled not to have to worry about when the rest of our luggage would arrive.


Spent several days looking into documents necessary for Carolyn's residence visa, getting new glasses for Augusto and Carolyn, and picking up the newest member of our family (see photo below). Her name is Alaska. Then, this past week we picked up medicines (some we bought and some were donated) for a medical campaign scheduled for Sept 28-29. It looks to be a lot of work, but we got good orientation from people who have done this before. We are asking for a general practitioner, a gynecologist, a pediatrician, and a dentist. We hope it will be a big blessing to many people in and around Santa Maria and that many will hear the Word and believe on the Lord and be healed both physically and spiritually.

This week we expect to travel to Santa Maria, a seven hour bus ride. We are still looking for the a truck which will take our duffle bags, medicines, a mattress, the dog house, and a few other things we will be purchasing before we travel.
