Please Pray for our Stuff

This seems on the one hand like a very silly request: would you all join us in praying that our possessions will arrive here? Actually, it is sitting in the port here in Trujillo and has been since a week ago Monday (at least we know its not at the bottom of the sea!!!). As we are finding out, Peruvian red tape is very thick. We initially shipped our stuff here on July 7th hoping it would arrive here the day after we did (July 27th). But we still don't have it and we're coming up on our two month anniversary of living out of suitcases.

So, pleas join us in praying that our stuff will be released on Thursday (today is actually a holiday for Santa Rosa so no one is working today).

I'll be praying John! Ryan had his first experience as RUF minister tonight. I thought he did quite well considering there were about 80 students there (Josiah's estimate). He's no John Ferguson, but he did set the Gospel as the centerpiece, just as you would. There were a lot of new faces too!

80? More like 800! Okay, I'm exaggerating, but it was definitely the biggest crowd we've had in a while, including lots of freshmen. Ryan did well—I was even a little surprised how comfortable he seemed on his first night. Of course, we had a few minor technical glitches, but that's to be expected.

I hope you get your things soon! I am praying.
