And I'm back in the Game

After a more than wonderful two-week vacation in the States, I have arrived for the second time in Peru, this time to finish up my term with ReachGlobal. I wanted thank all of you for your understanding and giving me the freedom to be selfish with my time and reserve it for my family and Jason. I did so enjoy seeing many of you at church during those Sundays I was able to attend, and I do look forward to seeing many of you on an individual basis when I get home next year. Starting in May I am down to just about 10 months left in my term and I do hope to make the most of that time. This weekend is the annual Pastors and Missionaries Retreat so I will be spending the next couple of days with all of the national pastors and their families along with the ReachGlobal families that are working in Peru. This is a time to celebrate the ministry together and rest from the day-to-day. I am thankful for a few days to adjust to being back in Peru before heading back to Tarma and my responsibilities. Meredith and I will be going back Monday morning and Elsa will be staying in Lima for a few extra days of rest since my team worked through Easter week.
I am thankful for all of your prayers in the weeks that I was home and in the process of transitioning back into life here. Leaving home a second time was hard, but God has been faithful and now that I’ve arrived I am very content to be back and to finish well the work that God has asked me to do here. Team meetings and English classes will start right back up for me next week as well as some planning for our next round of Bible studies that we will begin in May. Life will be getting busy again fast, yet you all know how I prefer to be busy rather than have too much free time here. As I get back into the swing of things I will try to keep you all posted as much as I can through the blog with pictures and maybe even some more videos. Thank you for your faithfulness to keep up with me over the last year and a half. Be praying for the 10 months that remain, that the Lord will do a good work in me and in Tarma, even if I will not be around to see the results. I look forward to sharing these months with you. God Bless.
