Hi to you all,
Trust you are well and enjoying autumn there in the U.S.! My favorite season, i do miss the fall colors!
October is here! And it is definitely getting warmer, our Spring is springing! We are thankful for nice weather and most of all for God's blessings here. New people are coming, some with real needs, like the couple whose 15 year old daughter is in the hospital with leukemia. Their other daughter has Down's syndrome, but can do some things for herself. This couple needs the Lord. Yes, they want their daughter healed, which we are praying for, God can do this. We all know we really want only the Lord's will, and we pray this situation will bring the whole family to Him. Thanks for praying with us for them and for many others Bob counsels with daily. Sometimes I join them, but often I'm in school.
And school just had its 13th anniversary celebrations. For the last couple weeks there were contests, family day with sports and a chicken dinner, etc. Friday evening was the Thanksgiving service and it glorified the Lord. Bob had the opening message, and I had a couple Bible story dramas presented with 4th and 5th graders, they did well. All the other presentations were for the Lord's glory too, and we are thankful for the opportunity to reach these families for Christ. Please help us pray for the rest of this year to continue in this cause.
Lord willing, next week Bob and I will go to Trujillo, in the north of Peru for a 3 day retreat with other missionaries with Christian Missions in Many Lands. We trust it will be a good time of fellowship and refreshing for continuing in God's work here. Bob has some trips planned to the mountain areas of Espinar for later this month. There are new believers up there and they need teaching, an ongoing need, I know I have mentioned it before.
Again, thanks so much for your prayer for us and for sharing with us in God's work here. Thanks and blessings for you all, Noel for us
