Yes, we are still alive!

We have been trying to get into the flow of the US. That's not as easy as one would think.

We drove to Texas to see family and reconnect with some special friends. It was not an easy trip. Parents are failing in health as they get older. That is never fun to see. We did get a couple of days to relax and sightsee. We took advantage and also ate one of our favorites in the Lone Star State....Texas Barbecue!

We will be driving to Missouri on the 10th of September for a few days. Please keep us in prayer as we travel.

There are many exciting things happening in our life. Pray as we wait on God as He opens doors. Pray also for the indigenous of the Amazon Basin as they decide whether or not to go back on strike.

Back in Colorado

We arrived in Colorado to a very warm welcome from Jim and Lou Huff. When we arrived at the house we were welcomed by some recently done landscaping by Don Nelson and crew, flowers in pots planted by Lou and flowers in a vase with a welcome home card from Don, Trish and boys. It was wonderful to know we have such good friends!

While we were in Peru there were some torrential rainstorms. Water entered through the basement windows and caused damage to the carpet and drywall. Jim and Lou had removed the carpet and dried it out. They had punched holes in the drywall (which they later repaird) to make sure mold didn't grow in the wall. We are so very thankful that they care about us so much that they took time out of their busy schedules to do all of this for us. Thank you!!!!

Kim Carroll also took the time to constantly bring in our mail for us in our absence. Thank you Kim for all that you did.

All of this is just a reminder of how special a family we have in Christ.
