Thursday/Friday

Hi all......
First of all, thanks for all the prayer support you have given us, it shows. All of us are feeling ok except for some congestion issues and lack of sleep, but it is minor. We thank the Lord for good health on this trip.
Yesterday was a very full day. We had a couple of English classes, one at the San Ramon school and one at Steven Hawking High School where Bethany teaches. They went very well. We did our cooking classes at the American Cooking Institute, making french toast, hash browns and stovetop applecrisp. The students really liked it. Jay, Joel, Hal and Mark had several basketball clinics with more today. Tarma is very into basketball, much more so than soccer. Tim did his presentation on time management to about 50 people and they were riveted. We all know Tim hates to speak in front of crowds, but he does such a marvelous job of it. God has just given him the gift for teaching.
Today we are at the American Institute painting 3 rooms for Jose and his wife Diana. Lots of sanding, priming, taping and painting. The students are cooking in rooms all around us and we are taking lots of pictures.
Tonight is the final goodbye dinner with all of the contacts we have made down here. It will be sad to say farewell as all the people we have met are so wonderful. Please pray that the ministry down here continues to grow and that they get male leaders in order to start a formal church. Women can do almost anything, but the Bible does make it plain that male leaders are needed.
This is a ministry that is growing very quickly and we pray that it multiplies in Gods timing.
We have had a blast working our butts off here in Tarma and I know a lot of us would like to come back to help some more.
Tommorrow is travel day, so pray for safety on the roads, as we are coming down to Lima from 15000 feet. It will be long and very tiring as we then get on a plane at 1 am to fly back to Atlanta.
Pray that we have the energy to drive home from Chicago at 1 in the afternoon when we get back there.
This mission has been a joy and we pray God makes it fruitful!

Your Tarma Team
