Good News!


Great news actually. The strike in Tarapoto is over so we didn't have to walk from the airport to the hotel. Praise God for that!


The not so good news is that Yurimaguas declared an indefinite strike. Ya know the who knows when it will end kind. The roads on either side of Tarapoto are blocked by the natives. Nothing is getting in or out by road. They are protesting the "law of the jungle" and within their rights, but in my opinion (which doesn't count for much) they should take it to Lima where the powers that be are. It is causing chaos here. Food is scarce and prices have doubled and tripled (price gougers here, too).


The good news is that we are in a comfortable hotel with hot water showers, free continental breakfast (bread and coffee), and air conditioning. What more do we need, right?


Please pray for this to be over quickly. There is still alot of planning to be done for the team coming in just 3 weeks. We haven't even been able to get to the house to pack yet. God is in control thankfully and He is not taken by surprise by any of this.


Thank you for all your prayers for the teams coming this summer.
