We asked for prayer for rain a few months back. Those prayers have been abundantly answered. The major roads in Peru are falling apart under the extreme amounts of rain that we have had. The road between Lima and Tarapoto has reported a minimum of 5 landslides with boulders bigger than cars blocking the highway. There are more than 2000 vehicles stuck on the road. You can imagine how that must feel; no food, no facilities, no 7-11. Pray for thos that are stuck.
Then this afternoon a bridge crossing the Gera River near Moyobamba (just outside of Tarapoto) collapsed. The river is running extremely high and flooding the area with flash floods. We are not sure yet about the road from Tarapoto to Yurimaguas. We will find out tomorrow. The strike has been called off there and we'd like to return home,but if there is a possibility that we'd get stuck because of a slide it might be better just to stay put. Please pray for discernment for us.
