Dear
family and friends
What
a blessing it has been to be here helping the school year get off to a good
start. We just had a short-term volunteer group here for a week to help put the
roof on the church in Yata (You can see photos below). That was some hard,
fun work, and we are thrilled that we will soon be able to hold worship
services right in Yata. Especially considering that there was a baptism this
week and nine of our students and three adults from Yata, including the mayor,
gave their lives to God! (More on that story later! Although, for blog viewers it will show up as an earlier post than this one.)
Lyli
and I are on our way to the U.S. because Lyli has been granted the visa that
enables us to process her green card, but we must do it in the U.S. We are also
planning to spend some time helping my grandparents who are feeling the need
for some extra hands. Grandma also has some ideas stewing for some missionary
work with their local church! We are excited about that! So we will be
stateside for a number of months, and are looking forward to seeing many of you! As of now our plan is to return to Bolivia at
the end of the school year in November to watch the property during the
vacation and prepare for the next school year. In the meantime we will continue
to pray for and support the school in every way possible. I will keep you
posted. I have a few more backlogged stories and meditations to send your way
as well over the next few months. May God’s grace and peace be with you, and
may your voice sound His words for this time, and may our lives portray them!
Maranatha!
