here in San Jose de Quero

First off we´d like to say thanks for the many prayers going up on our behalf. Although we had 2 long days of travel, we have made it safely here. Early on the morning of the 15th the Lord already had a chance to show off His faithfulness and provision for our trip when we walked up to the ticket counter and found out our Charleston to Miami flight had been cancelled the night before.

This isn´t the best news you´d like to hear with a team headed that way, but it did all work out. The lady at the ticket counter worked with us for quite a while and seemed doubtful that we would find a flight to Miami in time. The Lord totally provided and we figured out a route to Newark and then Miami to Lima. They were calling Don and my name over the intercom to tell you how close it was, but we made it.

After getting into Lima we left around 8 the next morning and headed straight to San Jose de Quero. After some good food on the road, we arrived here just after dark.

This morning a good bit of the group got up and explored some of the ruins and hiked up to a peak at the top of the mountains. It is a beautiful thing to wake up and be surrounded by these mountains. Today has been a laid back day with some orientation by Larry and Mindy describing the work that has gone on here and how we fit in. Lunch today was at a local restaurant where we had a two course meal for around $1.25 per person. And it was good stuff!

Right now some have gone prayer walking and some are going up in the fields to find our 70 year old friend Teodoro, get to know him and discuss some Bible stories.

Please continue to pray for our team and the people around here. Pray that the Holy Spirit would be at work and we would all have eyes to see and ears to hear what he is doing
