Since Andy doesn´t have a blogspot account he´s doing an update through my account. Here it is:


Hey guys how are all of you? ... I hope that you are doing very well

-We had our first meeting with the adult English classes on Thursday night, which was totally awesome. And like most things that happen in Peru, things didn’t go as planned. We were supposed to have 2 English classes on Thursday, one beginning and one intermediate. The beginner class arrived on time and they were ready. We stopped 15 minutes before they were supposed to be dismissed to tell them a Bible story. They then asked us to teach them a song from our church, so we taught them “Jesus Loves ME”…. they were all so funny. (We know that when these things happen that it is because you guys are praying for us, we could feel it!) I just thought it was such a cool thing that this group of government workers wanted to learn a Christian song that we sing at church, that was something very special. Then I asked Mr. Acosta where the other class was because we were supposed to teach the more advanced class at that time. He informed me that they had not showed up and that the beginner group wanted to meet for the next hour as well. They was just amazing. They were so excited about the song and learning the right pronunciation, as well as learning how to greet and introduce themselves in English. All in all we walked out of that classed very blessed by God!! They were so excited about everything; they were also many laughs because Josh and I were “ACTING” to give examples on how to greet and introduce one’s self. Furthermore, Mr. Acosta asked us if when we are telling the Bible study that we say it in English and that he could read it in Spanish as to be more involved!!!!!! This just blows my mind!

We also had the blessing to meet with Maria and Selia for a discipleship meeting. Both of these women own business so they are unable to attend the home church on Sunday evenings. We are going to be able to meet with Maria and Selia a couple of times a week. We met with Selia and went over the story of the 4 different soils, found in Matthew 13. We went over the importance of Prayer with Maria, found in Matthew 6. Please be praying for these two ladies, they seem to have very open hearts and read to grow. Hopefully we can get them on some sort of schedule where Maria, Selia and Julie could meet with each other when we leave because they all work next to each other.

Well there is another update!!....I love you guys, thank you for your time in prayer for us and the people here in Matucana!!!
God bless!!
Love ANDY
