It's Spring here in Trujillo, but the weather makes it still seem like winter.
We had the annual Spring Parade last week, with baton twirlers from the states here
to march and show their skills, a long-standing tradition I have heard. Rebekah celebrated her 10th birthday last month as you can see in the photo. We have been struggling financially lately, but God has blessed us with sufficient cash to get us
through the end of the year, at which time we will take our furlough. We had hoped to wait until next fall, but we will move it up to get started on more visits and fund-raising back in the states. It will be great for the clinic because next month Marcus and Whitney will be here in Trujillo, and the clinic will be in good hands with Dr. Marcus around. Our church in Arevelo continues to grow and recently we installed a permanent stage and pulpit, more photos to follow, which is a real beauty. All areas of ministry from the men's group to the children's classes are well attended and well taught. We are so glad to see this church maturing and the members bringing visitors and family members along to visit.
