Update on Conima Mission - April 26

Unfortunately the internet store in Conima has closed and I could not get internet correspondence out. Briefly:
FRIDAY, APRIL 20
 I met the group from FBC Port Neches in Houston and we arrived in Lima that evening at 11:30. Slept on benches at the airport,

SATURDAY, APRIL 21
 1, Took a 5:00 a.m. flight to Juliaca.
 2, Met our nurse Pam Donaldson and Rubin Toledo the pastor of the Huancane church at the airport. Rubin had a van for us so we loaded up, stopped briefly at Rubin's house in Huancane to pick up supplies we had shipped ahead and headed for Conima.
 3. We arrived in Conima Saturday afternoon April 21 to find the entire town in disarray. They decided to put in a drainige system and started working on the entire town at once. Ditches, piles of dirt, rocks, bricks, etc all over the town. We had to circle around in order to get to the plaza and our apartment.
2. Unfortunately the same thing happened at the clinic. They decided to remodel and the whole building was a mess. But we unloaded, nontheless and settled into our apartment after a brief devotional and orientation.
