Good to be Home!!

I must say, first, that this blog is very late. I have been unable to have sufficient internet time since I returned to Peru until now.
Secondly, I enjoyed my time in the United States with family and friends, but I was ready to be home, in Peru, by the time I got here. The truth is, "There's no place like home!" No matter where that is or what that is, there is no place like it!
I enjoyed about 6 weeks in the United States, but it was without my husband, because we couldn't get a US Visa for him after 3 tries. I was privileged to speak in 4 churches and my sister's classroom in Walton Elementary School. I also was privileged to go to the 99th birthday party of our dear friend Cora Wigal.

I hope I look half that good at 99!

In the US, I was also blessed with a shower by the women of my home church. With the money we received from friends and family as wedding presents, we were able to finish paying for a property we had purchased, and buy a washing machine. You don't know how much easier that makes life!!!


NEW WASHER!!!
First load of laundry with new washer!!!



The last Sunday I was in West Virginia, I took group pictures of the congregation...It took several pictures to get the majority of people, but we still missed some of the people. The Peruvians sent a similar picture to the people of West Virginia and my home church.


















We are continually blessed with the love and prayers of our friends in the US and Peru. Thanks to all who pray for us daily, and please continue to pray for us and our ministry here in Campanilla, Peru.
