Okay, my brain for as much catch-up as it is trying to do in the US, is quite clearly still on Peru. Seems like there are just too many stories to share....

Even though most of the congregation has heard this story, there are several of you who have not that are regular blog readers. On the first evening in Moyobamba, Ken led the devotion and encouraged us all to keep our eyes open to God-moments. Here's the crowning one for those of us who were also on last year's trip....

Saturday evening just before we fly back to Atlanta, we're having dinner down by the Lima coast at this fantastic seafood restaurant that overlooks the Pacific ocean--where we have gone the last 3 years on our last night. Another waiter in the restaurant comes up to our table and asks if we are Christians. One of our group says yes, and asks if he is a Christian. He says, "Yes, because of Norma," and points to a member of our group who is one of our translators. Then he pulls out his wallet in which is a tract Norma gave to him at that same restaurant a year ago and tells how his life has changed over the last year because of what we shared with him.

How amazing is that!

God is good,
