Chillin' in Pucallpa

Okay, as promised...here is the update on whether I'm staying or going. Well, I'm here aren't I?! Enough of that--I am staying in Pucallpa with Jacob for the next two weeks. We've been here without the rest of the team for one full day. Dena seemed to be almost completely recovered from whatever she had and the team left at 7:00 Monday morning. So far, so good. I think we will have a good time and I will learn alot. I'm using my time in Pucallpa to work with a tutor, catch up on emails, and do some things that I don't always have time for--like reading. However, I'm pretty sure my days are going to be extra full these next two weeks.

Things you can pray for are:
-That the next two weeks will go smoothly with Jacob and the houses.
-just to give you an idea, I’ve had to stop this newsletter about 10 times to answer the phone(and try to understand the person on the other end), water the dogs, run get my house keys in case the door slams shut from the wind, and remind Jacob that when we drink all the cold water we must refill the water bottle!
-That my team will minister to the Ashéninka in a completely God-honoring, God-glorifying way.
-That my Spanish will improve drastically over the next couple weeks
-For Kristina(my language partner) that she will understand and embrace God’s truth
-That I will stay focused on my real job—that ALL peoples may know Him
-Dena’s health

And a photo...just to keep you coming back to my blog!
