|Well, greetings from U.S.A.!
This month finds us with our children and grandchildren! What a blessing to see them all growing up, loving the Lord and doing well in studies, work, etc. Truly, our TERRI and Josué, our PAUL and Kim, dear TANIA and Josh are absolutely magnificent parents and we can see the results - God in the lives of their children. Our JOE is right here helping us learn how to manage the new laptop computer Josué and Terri helped us purchase. This will take a long time for grandma to learn, grandpa is better!
Another real blessing so far is the weather!! Here it is unusually warm for Northern Indiana, and really all over so far we have had good weather for our travels. We are heading west and then north next week though, so this nice pattern could change to snow and ice. Please do continue to pray for this trip, and thanks so very much to those who have already put up with us (put us up) and showed your very kind and loving hospitality! You have made us feel very loved and prayed for! Thanks so much for all those who have shared with us too, what a blessing you are!!
This brings us to another reason to thank the Lord and thank you! God has supplied through some of you for Bob to purchase a vehicle upon returning early March to Perú! We are truly blessed!!! Thank you!! For this we will need to sell the ambulance, which did not happen before we left, but should happen in March, God willing.
So far we have heard from our Ebenezer Christian school, that they are having a fruitful vacation program, and are now contracting teachers for this upcoming school year, starting in March. God has provided some Christian teachers for high school, but it remains our prayer and concern that all our teachers be dedicated to serving the Lord. Please help us pray for this and for wisdom in their contracting and preparation. Thanks so much. We still need to see the Lord provide for the finishing of the primary school 3rd floor addition. They have started and the last will be ok to do in March if we can, as it is to be a light construction, "dry wall". The school is growing, and we praise the Lord for this, but do please help us pray for God to work in the lives of the students, parents or tutors, and teachers all. This is a fabulous opportunity and responsibility. Thank you!
