Great things are happening here in Sta. Maria, as the medical campaign begins to fall into place. We went to the school this past week for a PTA-type meeting. About 16 parents of the 25 total were there. Not too bad. There are 30 students in the school, but the school itself is perfect for the campaign. Then a pastor and 4 parishioners came from Huancayo, a large town about an hour away last night for evening service. They will help and try to get young people from their church involved, too. We still have a lot of logistics to take care of. Please keep praying!
Chaska is having a ball and being very helpful, taking out the pig in the wee hours of the morning and helping to milk the cows this evening.
Augusto and his brother strung electrical cable from the main switch to our house today and put window panes (14) in our front door. It won't get as cold in the kitchen at night now.
Carolyn tutored a 16-yr-old in English today, while her mother washed our clothes!
It is wonderful to live next door to Augusto's brother, Quirino and his family, all of whom love and serve our risen Lord.
Blessed be the LORD, who daily pours His blessings upon us!!!
Truly it is the grace of God that keeps us and makes us content here in this very cold place. We had hail last Sunday and rain storms the next two days. God is preparing the ground for planting...and for us to break ground for a room addition. He is soooo wise.
We love you. Thanks for tuning in! Augusto, Carolyn, Chaska, and Alaska
P.S. We are happy that Alaska has found a mate who keeps her warm so that she sleeps through the night now. Yippee!!!!
So great to hear how God is already moving and providing. Hope the transition continues to go well. -Tedd
