A Busy Two Weeks

Sorry it’s been so long. A lot has happened in the last two weeks, but I’ll try to keep this posting short (they’re easier to read), though I might fail. A lot has happened in the last two weeks. I’ll probably just scratch the surface.

Elder Muir and his daughter and her family stayed with us for a week. He and his family founded the air base. It was a joy to meet him, hear his stories, and have more people on the base. Sometimes it can get a little lonely, especially when there are few people who speak English.

We’ve had our first and currently, second cold periods. It’s Peru though, and Peru’s hot; I know, right?! It’s in the mid-60s, which wouldn’t be cold except, we generally wear less clothing and our houses have screens for windows. Therefore the wind blows right through; it’s almost as if you’re outside all the time. The first time, I didn’t have my second bag (oh yeah, my second bag arrived about two weeks after I did), so I had only one pair of church pants. And I was cold! However, estoy feliz siempre!

Aner and I are becoming really good friends. We try to hang out at night whenever he isn’t in English classes and I’m not helping with the youth. My Spanish is coming slowly, but it’s still very hard.

I’ll tell you more later, but I’m headed off into the jungle to meet up with the launch. It’s about a three days journey by ferry. I leave on Sunday.

Great news! The website is almost done. Wow, I had forgotten how much effort it is to build a website. When you visit it, try to use Safari or Mozilla. I haven’t done extensive testing in Internet Explorer to see if everything looks as it should. Also, we have had a terrible time trying to get the old website down and our domain back, so the website is now at a new location. It should be up by the evening of Wednesday, October 8, 2008.

Keep praying for me as I pray for you. Also pray for the people of Peru. They certainly need your prayers. Remember to ask the Lord to direct you in everything you do!
Chao!
