On our trip to Peru in October, Robin Miller and I made a second run to the market, and we were to meet the rest of our group for dinner. (This was after we came back from the mountains. We were flying out at 1:00 a.m.) Our taxi driver to the restaraunt was a young guy who spoke English well. He was really nice, so we asked him to come in the restaraunt and meet Mike. We thought he might could become part of the English ministry and that he might could work as a translator.
Mike told me that he had kept in touch with Manuel, but Manuel hadn’t been able to serve as a translator on any trips because of his taxi driving. Well, Manuel went as a translator for the first time last week with a team from Alabama. Thursday night when Ryan and I went to eat dinner with the Geyer Springs team, the team from Alabama was there with Manuel. They said that Manuel had an announcement to make. His announcement was that he received Jesus Christ on the trip! I was so excited!
The translator ministry is really neat. Many translators are believers but some are not. Many have become believers through their work with teams in the mountains, and they are now devoted followers of Jesus!

What a wonderful story to read on Easter. I can not wait to hear more.
How about that Alabama team. Can’t tell I am a little partial to Alabama can you ha ha!!!. I talked with Dave Hughey on Sunday. He says as of now that he doesn’t have a team for the May trip. Right now he is planning on coming with Marty and one other. That could change if more people become interested between now and the trip date. I will be meeting with Dave for lunch, this week or next. We will chat about his trip in May and the trip Marty and I and the rest of the team will make in July. Hope you both are doing well. Your in our prayers. P.S. Sam says “Hi”
Hey, That is absolutely wonderful!! Just to see how God intervened through his job as a taxi driver!! He met you and Robin, then met God!! Oh, Amanda and Ryan, I know you are just overwhelmed by God’s greatness. In just the first few days that you’ve been there He has shown His faithfulness. Thanks for being there!! Miss you guys, Lynne
