Getting ready for takeoff




There is no other time like the present to do a little blog updating! My family and my sister in law's family are counting down the hours as the first grandchild on both sides is about to be born. We praise God for His goodness in the baby coming soon so that everyone who came to visit will get a chance to hold the tiny little guy.

However, the flight from Punta Cana to Lima had been cancelled, and the next available one was two days later. Soooo, I made sure to let them know I was not planning on staying two days alone in the airport, and they assured me they would give me two nights in a hotel in this touristy beach city. :) So free vacation! What a blessing from the Lord!

As far as support raising the past month and a half, it is definitely a growing experience in trusting God and learning to expand my comfort zones. I have loved getting to share Aulo and my vision for Peru, and many people have committed to pray about joining our team.

The next few days will involve hanging with my newborn nephew, heading to Missouri for 4 more days to finish packing up, (choosing what I would like to bring with me and what my parents can bring, etc.) My next post will most likely be from Lima, where I will be doing a few document things at the embassy, and then heading to Tarapoto with Aulo for a couple weeks to hang out with his family. Then soon after that, IQUITOS!
