Amanda and I were talking/worrying about the future. You ever do that? We don’t know what we’ll do after Peru. We don’t know where to go, where to live, where to work.

Then we realized . . . God has never let us down before! Seriously! He has taken care of us every step of the way. Looking back, it’s clear, there’s no doubt about it. So what’s the sense in getting worked about ‘what ifs’ in the future? He’s got it under control.

Now, that’s freeing! We’ll take it a step at time. Obedience/closeness to him. That’s the key. That’s what we should really be occupying ourselves with.

I’ve been reading/praying the psalms a lot lately. It’s literally like food for my spirit/soul (whatever you want to call it . . . . the thing inside me that is able to connect with God). When I make a psalm my own, it’s like an injection of truth into my mind. Nothing like the Word to get things in order mentally.

It’s absolutely unbelievable how fast time is going by. Amanda is almost in her 7th month! . . .

It’s getting cloudy here. We live less than a mile from the ocean (as the paloma flies) and every moring we can see the fog roll through the neighborhood and make it a little more difficult to get out of bed.

There hasn’t been a whole lot of excitement around here lately. We’re getting ready for all the summer missionaries coming in . . . logistical stuff.

I went with Alberto and Lidman to visit Oneyda again last week. She is saying a few words, but remains basically completely incapacitated. They still don’t exactly what her mind is doing. If she can understand what is going on. We sang a few songs and prayed. God is good, even when it seems like he’s not. And he’s strong too . . . that’s what Juan (her husband) is banking on. Me too.

Outside our church on Resurrection Sunday. 

The whole week leading up to the day Jesus was ressurrected is called “Semana Santa”. Schools let out, businesses shut down . . . . and everybody goes to mass. Also, a lot of shrines and idols are brought out and paraded around the city.

We celebrated Sunday with the believers at our church, Grace Baptist.

Yup. That’s fog! 

If he can do it . . . then so can I! (trying to make it through the mud) 

Putting the truck to the test. 

Where are we? (looking at a map)
