Sorry everyone for the lack of update on my blog... It's been quite the roller coaster ride since I last wrote. I was just planning on writing about the stuff going on now so y'all can know and be praying for everything that's happening.
Ummm, where to start, where to start? Well, I have finally settled in Iquitos, Peru located smack dab in the middle of the Amazon rain forest (we're three degrees from the equator). I finished all the necessary upgrades needed on my house like paint, furniture, and the like, and it wasn't a moment too soon because now I have three Latin roommates and it's all working out great for us. I'm now living with Jose, from Ecuador, Enoc, an indiginous from the jungle, and Isaac, from a small town on the river to Pucallpa from here.
The biggest news is that we are now neck deep in two trainings going on at the same time. We have a girls training that started about two week ago, and a guys training that started last week. There are five girls in their training, and there are seven guys and one couple in the guys training. Today has been our first real day of rest since the girls training has started so we can finally slow down and breathe a little. Please be praying that the people going through the trainings may find their strength in Him, and be able to complete the training so they may be effective missionaries wherever they may serve. A praise I have is that no one has voiced any thoughts about quitting the training thus far, and that is great news for us and them!
That's pretty much it for now; my life is revolving completely around these trainings until they are finished so please also be praying for Jeremy and I that we may be given sufficient patience and strength every day to keep going out there to teach. I have to constantly remind myself that I cannot do this on my own; I need your prayers, and the grace of my Lord to get me through these next three months.
On a great note, my family will be coming to visit me in just three days!! hey will be here for nine days, and I am going to show them Lima, and then we're headed here so they can see the training and get to know the people involved. Please pray for safe travel for them and us this next week.

"But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strenght. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint." Isaiah 40:31
That came to me as I was reading your update. So thankful that all is well. Will continue to pray for God's blessing and grace to surround you daily.
Enjoy your time with your parents and Mike!
Hugs and Love to you!!
