I am really starting to love these people, I am not using the word love casually like so many people do...I feel such a deep love for these people. My heart breaks for them and longs for them to know the same wonderful and forgiving God that I know.

Vbs went really well! The kids loved the craft (Joseph and his coat of many colors)! There were about 30 kids there. My Dad and I worked on the story of Noah and the Flood after Vbs (I am telling it in English and he is translating). Everyone went and ate at the restuarant at 5:00 p:m but my stomache wasn´t feeling well so I stayed behind and rested. My Dad, Jeremy L, Jonathan, Heather, and I ended up going to the group storying. It went pretty well, it was a little hectic but not too bad! About twelve people ended up coming and most of them were pretty engaged. We got back to the house around 8:30 p:m and had worship and then caught some ZZzZZZ´s.

The morning started out kind of rough, just dealing with stress and other things. My spirits were lifted, thanks to my awesome God! Vbs went really well...we had 31 kids there. The day was going pretty well until I got on the computer and had a message from Andrew. He just found out that his mother has a disease called Atypical endometerial hyperplasia(complex) which is a disease that can develope into cancer of the uterus. There are four stages to the disease before cancer. She is in the fourth stage. She has a doctors appointment on September 2nd to decide what they will do. They think that they caught it early enough. She will have a hysterectomy to try to get the disease out of her body. In September they will find out how urgent the surgery will be. Just please pray everyone. I trust God and know that he has the situation under control but its hard not to feel discouraged, especially since Andrew is all the way in Washington and I am all the way in Peru. Thank God I am going there on August 4th until August 18th. His mother´s name is Mavis so everyone please keep her in your prayers. I also need some prayer. I am joyful today because of Christ but its hard not to feel a deep sadness. So please pray for me as well and Andrew´s whole family. I can see God moving in Conima and there is no doubt in my mind that God has everything under contol but in the U.S.
-Love in Christ
