On Sunday afternoon I began my travels from Cusco, Peru to Hamilton, Ohio.  I arrived on Monday afternoon with all my family waiting for me.  It was great meeting my nephews for the first time and seeing my family.  I’ll be here until the 9th of August.  The first few days have flown by.  It seems there’s not enough hours in the day!

The girls recently had to do a school project.  Their class is learning about the animals of Peru and each child has to give a little “charla” on their animal.  The girls, with a lot of help from mommy, did their projects on alpacas and sheep.  They had to tell where the animal lives, what it eats, what colors it can be, and what they like most about it.  Neomi likes how sheep “baa” and Natali likes how alpacas spit on people!

My wife celebrated another birthday today!  She is ????? years young!  Natali, Neomi, and I are definitely blessed to have a wonderful mother and wife.  She spoils us and works extremely hard as a mother and wife.  I thank the Lord everyday to have a Godly wife working alongside me here in Peru.  Living in Peru makes a lot of normal duties a lot harder and more time consuming but she has adapted and does them all wonderfully. Happy Birthday Becca!

On Saturday we were able to be part of “The March for Jesus”.  It is a parade that the evangelical churches in Peru do to show the city of Cusco that Jesus is alive!  The entire month of June there are parades and festivities commemorating almost anything you could think of. To be able to show the city of Cusco a consolidated witness that Jesus is the only way to Heaven, that He loves them and we love them was a great opportunity.  We were able to pass out some John and Romans (even though I forgot the majority of them at a fellow friend and missionary’s house), and some tracts about Salvation and Creation.

For those of you who haven’t heard we were denied visas for the girls by the U.S. embassy.  It came as a complete shock to us and we were devastated when the man gave us the girls’ passports back and said no.  I won’t re-hash all the details but if you’d like to know you can contact us.  We know that the Lord has a purpose in everything and we are praying and seeking His will at this time.  Thank you all for your prayers!
