Yurimaguas Finally



Wow! We are finally back in Yurimaguas. Things have not changed around town. It will take a few days to clean the cobwebs off the walls and ceiling and bleach down the cabinets but things will be back in order soon.
Dorcas, Pancho’s oldest daughter, will be starting college on Monday. She will be studying tourism so she can eventually help out her village of San Antonio and others that want to have a piece of the ecotourism pie. Guillermo, who is studying to become a nurse, is on the coast right now doing one of his practicums. He will return to Yurimaguas in May and work in the hospital to finish his practicum here.
We hope that in these couple of months we can get everything arranged for the trips coming this summer. There will be some challenges ahead as we do, so please keep us in prayer. Pray for the following: boats to rent for each of the trips (3 in all), water in the river to be able to get to the villages, and a good pilot for each boat. We usually use Pancho, however, he may not be available this summer.
We thank you all for your continued support of us and the Chayahuita as we continue on this empowerment venture together.
