We have had a blessed weekend! On Friday the girls were in their first Peruvian wedding. A young lady we know was married and wanted the girls to be in her wedding.  Natali and Neomi were so excited to be able to dress up like princesses.  I don’t think the girls have ever seen a wedding in the U.S. so this was a first with them.  Below is a picture of them with the happy couple!

This morning at church we had our first baptism of the year.  A young man who has been attending for over a year made the decision to be baptized.  He has a great testimony of salvation which took place about 11 years ago.  He comes from another denomination so this was a really big step for him.  We praise the Lord for this blessing!  Below is a picture of the group this morning. The young man who was baptized is the 3rd from the left.

This past week we held our first Vacation Bible school with the mission! The Marks’ family, our friends from Arequipa brought a group from their church on a missions trip to help us with this event.  A lot of preparation and money went in to getting everything prepared (more than I initially thought), but the Lord provided and gave us a great week of ministry.  We had many visiting children from the area of the mission and many regulars from our kid’s club.  We had a total of 44 different children who registered for the week and a high of 29!  We gave away a scooter for the child with the most overall points and we also had 2nd and 3rd place prizes.  It was a great week. Pray for us as try and get in touch with the new children who came and invite them and their families to church. Here are some pictures:
