I just I´d let you all know that the first group to Peru arrived today! It´s a group of 13 from Somerset, PA. So far, so good...as far as the group is concerned...
Of course, there has to be something exciting in the trip, so for us, we are currently stuck in Lima. There is a protest with the farmers, so it is unsafe to travel up to Trujillo. We are stuck in Lima until it becomes safe to travel once again. It is unsafe because the farmers who live along the road to Trujillo don´t let cars pass, they throw rock and whatnot at the cars as they pass. Traveling in a large (charter-like) bus is a large target, not only for rocks, but also for thieves, so we are staying in Lima.
Please be praying for this situation. We are currently on a moment to moment basis, so we really don´t know what tomorrow, or the next day, etc holds. Please pray the farmers can get this situation resolved, pray that we´ll get to Trujillo, but while we are here in Lima, that God will use us in whichever way He wants. (We know He has a reason for us being here and not in Trujillo.) Please help the money to stretch however far it needs. Pray for the Peruvians who are in charge, that they can figure out things for us to do, keep the stress to a minimum.
The group has been great. They have been very understanding. No one is upset about being stuck here and the situation. They understand God is in control and there is a purpose. How blessed are we!! The only problem for Kari and I is that we weren´t planning on staying here, so we only have the clothes on our back. Luckily, however, we did pack our toothbrushes/paste, facewash, and I packed my contact stuff, we´re safe as far as that´s concerned. We´ll just be wearing the same clothes...but there are worse things!
Thanks for your prayers!
