All is 'GO' for our Medical-Dental-Opthalmic-Evangelistic Mission trip leaving from Houston Friday. Thanks to FBCWP we are loaded with non-prescription medication, toothbrushes and reading glasses. We expect to care for some 400 patients during our stay. That will allow us to make fantastic contacts.
  We have 4 songs in Spanish that all of us have memorized, I just finished loading the tunes on my Sanza Fuze so I can learn them on my way to Lima.
  And how about that wonderful poster that our church members decorated and signed for me. What a hit a "soft spot" surprise. Love you all. Sorry that due to a  memorial service for my cousing Alberto Lopez in Corpus Christi caused me to miss being at our church last Sunday. Albert was in the Navy and they had a military burial, (he actually passed away in 2010 and was cremated), in the new Coastal Bend Military Cemetary in Corpus Christi. All the family was there and we got to hear a wonderful preacher. It was a great spiritual time.
  I am packed and will meet the group from the coast in Houston Friday afternoon. We will pack all the empty suitcases with supplies and "mule" them into Lima. God has already been wonderful allowing us to find qualified medical volunteers both from here and in Peru. The blessings keep pouring and we are praying that our presence there will allow us to shine a little light on the residents of Conima. It is hard to imagine the spiritual darkness they live in. Keep praying that God will open the hearts and minds of those residents we come in contact with and His Spirit will lead us in such a way that we can have a successful ministry while we are there.
  God bless you all - more will follow.
