Hi again!
May we proceed to greet you all for this month too? Thanks, and thanks for your continued prayer and help for us here.
April was interesting and full. One of the Christian school teachers we had last year got married in April. Bob and I participated in the wedding and it was a real good testimony we think. Samuel married Sonia, a girl from one of our churches here in Arequipa, where they both attended and helped with the youth. Then we had a good Holy Week program at school, with songs and short skits. My 6th graders and I did the Last Supper. I think it all was also a good testimony to our Lord, for all the students, teachers, and parents who came.
Bob had some good trips in April too. To the mountains and to the Majes Valley and the agricultural town on the plains - Pedregal. The ambulance works really well in the mountains, and everywhere really. However, this is the sad part: Bob cannot get permission for more passengers in the van. Of course, we do want to obey the law, however unreasonable it may be. So, with sadness he has decided he will have to sell it. Please help us pray for the right buyer and the right other vehicle for him to use. It seems impossible he can sell it for enough to get something really better for him, but God can supply. Please just help us pray. Thanks!
One of the reasons we may have trouble in this vehicle sale and purchase is that Perú is having their runoff presidential election June 5. Neither of the candidates are very promising, but the one who is ahead in the polls is very nationalist. He has always been against foreigners here, and he follows the styles of the govts. of Venezuela and Bolivia. Not friendly toward gringos. Please help us pray for this election. It would be kind of tragic for Perú if this guy becomes president, but we know God is the One who controls even this situation. Please pray for us and for Perú. Thanks!
So now we are in May! We are working on a Mother's Day program at school, for Friday May 6th and please help us pray this too will be a testimony for all the Moms present. May I take this opportunity to wish all you special Moms a wonderful Mother's Day! Please take seriously the task of guiding your children and grandchildren in the ways of the Lord. How we need to win this generation for Him!
