Sandra, Bastiluz, Tarsila, and Dorcas (bottom) (top) Key Zu and Carly in Tarapoto
It has been an interesting week. After seeing the Grace team off, we returned to Yurimaguas with the 2 women from New Tribes and started working on getting on the river to one of the Chayahuita villages. We then found out that Pancho (our boat pilot) had to help drill a well in a nearby community and that Yurimaguas would have a 3 day strike. Not a whole lot we could do until both of those were resolved. We have had a good time getting to know Carly and her friend Key Zu. Even though the plan was to be in a village longer the interlude has given them time to get to know and play with Pancho’s kids and others that are in town. They wouldn’t have had this time otherwise. God has His plans and of course always has a way a reminding us to be FLEXIBLE and that He is in control.
The strike is over and Pancho should be on his way back. We hope to be able to leave on Monday, Lord willing. Pray that the river will have enough water so we won’t have issues on our way. Pray for safety on the river and in San Antonio. We hope to be in Maranatha on Monday night and San Antonio on Tuesday. We plan on staying gone a week and then we return to get packed to return to the US.

Hi Ken and Terri! I am seeing if my comment gets published this time. I am still an email gal but I wanted to try the blog since I got it to work on the Skelton's. Anyway, I pray all went well on the river and in San Antonio. We look forward to seeing you soon! Take care. Love, Trish
