Hi All,

Hope this email finds you well. I wanted to write a very quick update before taking off for Louisiana tomorrow. We will be speaking in the church in Alexandria LA on Sunday and then be traveling on to Georgia where Lucy may be speaking in a Spanish church. It has been a blast having Lucy here.

She has gotten to do so many things like go to the San Antonio Zoo, Enchanted Rock, Natural Bridge Caverns, The Wildlife Safari, experiencing bowling for the first time and so many other things including a surprise visit from Amy all the way from Colorado. She has been well fed by my sister and so many others and we thank you so very much for helping support Lucy while she is here.

She has enjoyed the U.S. saying everything including the doors are friendly--they open when you walk up to them, the stoplight greet you and the angels flush the toilets for her but she is constantly thinking of the churches along the Amazon and is somewhat anxious to get back there.

We started with speaking at Dayspring in New Braunfels then New Hope in Austin. As I said before, tomorrow we will be heading to Louisiana, then Georgia, on the 26th we will be in Dallas at Collin Creek Community Church and Luz y Vida, the 4th of March we will be in Waco, the 11th in San Antonio, the 18th my niece gets married and the 22nd Lucy flies back to Peru.

I will be heading back to Peru May 1st with the medical team from Indiana.

I wanted to let you all know about 2 trips we have coming up this summer. The first will be an evangelism trip to try to begin a church plant in Nauta--a small city close to our church in Amazonas. One of our seminary students, Oswaldo, graduated in December and is now back in Amazonas. The church in Amazonas is doing well and Oswaldo has a vision of beginning a church in Nauta. This team will be doing evangelism through puppets, dramas and movies. From there, we will be going to Amazonas to inaugurate and bless the wells that we will be placing there. We will then travel to Tamshiyacu where Harol the other seminary student who also graduated this year will be. We will evangelize there and also in Santa Ana. We really are in need of people to sign up for this trip. It will be from June 8-17 and will cost $1800. This trip is coming up quickly so please pray about it and if you feel led to serve, please go to districtmissions.org to fill out the application asap. Thank you in advance for your willingness to serve.

There is another trip planned for Sept. 29th-Oct 6th. This will be a construction team that will be rebuilding a church in Maynas our newest church which affiliated with us this past year. This will probably be a smaller team due to the water being low and the difficulty of traveling there. You can also apply for that trip at the above website.

Thanks so very much for all of your thoughts and prayers. God bless you

In Christ,

Kayleen
