Last weekend we visited Cajamarca, a large city in the mountains, to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Second Presbyterian church, or Los Rosales church. It rained everyday, but we were expecting that because it is the time of year. We adjusted quickly to the altitude, and took some entertaining side trips to some farms and archaeological sites. However, upon returning to Trujillo we found it had been raining for four days, a very unusual event. Thankfully our home held up fine in the rain, and nothing was damaged.
We hope all of you had a wonderful holiday, and are enjoying the new year. We are busy now getting back to home schooling, pushing ahead in the work in the clinic, and planning for future teams to come and work with us. My dad and stepmom are coming in a few weeks, along with my uncle Ralph. In December my mom came for a brief visit, that was nice. Another bit of news, we have opened a seperate account at CMS for a vehicle fund. If interested please note in your giving that the money is for the Ellison car fund. Thanks!
We are encouraged now with the ministry here. All of our fellow missionaries are back after some traveling over the break. Also Twin Lakes team from Jackson came and had a great week of summer camp for about 130 Peruvian children from our churches. Our kids went also and had a blast. Thanks Twin Lakes and First PCA in Jackson!
