So, we have had a busy couple of months. We went to the IPHC school of missions in Chattanooga, TN in August. Gillian's dad got married in Minnesota in September. In between those trips we have been busy presenting at churches about our call to serve in Peru. We praise God for the doors that He is opening to get us to the field in just the right time.
This past week we received some encouraging words from the staff that are serving in Peru. We gave them some updates on where we stand and things they could pray for us about. They responded with good words for us. Right now they have several new missionaries that have recently arrived and some more that are arriving at the end of the year. It is great that they have so many people coming to serve in their efforts to overcome poverty in Peru.
Alex was asking me in the car today, "Daddy, when are we going to get to Peru?" The only thing I could say was, "Soon." Then he began to ask me about the types of things the people in Peru have. Do the kids have toys? Do they have McDonalds? Are their houses made of brick or wood? What kind of apartment will we have? The questions are endless with that kid, but they are all great questions. Every time he asks me about those things I just get excited to know that one day soon he will be able to see these things first hand. Then all of his questions about the unknown country of Peru will be answered. Of course, their will be new questions, but we will answer those as they arrive. The one I can see most is, "How do you say ______ in Spanish?" We are already getting that one, but once both boys have an interest in communicating in their new culture the questions will abound.
Well, that is it for now.
