This month has been a little slower than usual, but as always it’s such a blessing to see how the Lord works in all things. This past month we have continued with our ESL (English as a second language) classes. We changed locations of the class this month, but the students have faithfully continued to come. Also our women’s Bible study has continued this month. We are really trying to build strong relationships with these women, so that we can encourage them as sisters in Christ and also encourage them to bring others who may not know Christ.

This month we have also been going out to Yucay to teach English to a group of about 6 young boys. They were all so well behaved and excited to learn, which is a little unusual for the

children here. We were only able to go teach this month, but this opened a door for us to come back at Christmas. The family who had opened their home to us invited us to come to a Christmas party for just the children of the village. Hopefully this will open some more doors to share the true Christmas story with them, seeing as how most of them have never heard it.

In other news we have a trip to Lima planned for this week. We are going with our friends from here in Cusco that we’ve been trying to invest in and share with. Please be praying that this will provide more opportunities to share with them. Also one of my good friends in Lima has recently become sick and may have to have surgery. I don’t know all of the details yet, but I’m supposed to meet with her while I’m in town. She is a new believer and this could be a real test of her faith. Her name is Fiorella, so please keep her in your prayers.

Also Ellen is getting ready to return to the states within the next month, along with two other girls on our team. Please keep them in your prayers as they prepare to return home and adjust back to life in the states. As of when she leaves I will be the only girl with our team in Cusco. There will be a couple guys, but it’s still not quite the same as having another girl to work with. That situation may change, but please be praying that I will be able to finish up the last few months here strongly.

As always thank you guys so much for all of your prayers! If any of you have any other questions about what all has been going on, don’t be afraid to send me an email. And if any of you decide you want to come visit over the next few months, just let me know!
