Facebook has lost its charms and may soon be yesterday's news...or maybe not. Anyway I'd like to give a quick update on where we are. Our first year back in Trujillo has been busy, but God has blessed and we are enjoying the days. The medical clinic in Wichanzao is busy and thriving, with patients daily and a great staff. We have had some turnovers and more to come but God seems to be blessing with the right folks to come in and keep the work going. Elizabeth Johnson is here now and doing a great job everyday taking care of patients and keeping the staff encouraged. Our Arevalo hospital is back in construction and we are so pleased to see the funds continue to come in for that. We are still hoping for an open date by next February or so, Dios mediante. Caleb and Zachary are learning to surf, taking advantage of living in Huanchaco, and hopefully soon I'll be in the mix. Susan teaches and organized homes-chool and is training for a marathon next year. Hopefully I'll post some pics to go with these stories. Pray for our churches here to grow and multiply!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08856951835742556698noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4427172858712477714.post-119665749589150932011-12-29T14:11:00.000-08:002011-12-29T14:11:37.279-08:00Christmas Day<a href='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5mvdKv-tX9KVLTuKlhbKpELKps2WkNtIlr30cE7Mzx8Cj4AiRtDDb_3tz8yhCxCHmDityp-LIDfM2WgEIhxQ0lKojYA7gaT_RmJY4Shxl7ehW4IeDxGTATCgYa-rLY7djZ5AvVblSp_zy/s1600/IMG_0562.JPG'><img src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5mvdKv-tX9KVLTuKlhbKpELKps2WkNtIlr30cE7Mzx8Cj4AiRtDDb_3tz8yhCxCHmDityp-LIDfM2WgEIhxQ0lKojYA7gaT_RmJY4Shxl7ehW4IeDxGTATCgYa-rLY7djZ5AvVblSp_zy/s320/IMG_0562.JPG' border='0' alt=''style='clear:both;float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;' /></a> <br />Lulu rocking it with her Rock Star Mickey<div style='clear:both; text-align:RIGHT'><a href='http://picasa.google.com/blogger/' target='ext'><img src='http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif' alt='Posted by Picasa' style='border: 0px none ; padding: 0px; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial;' align='middle' border='0' /></a></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08856951835742556698noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4427172858712477714.post-8010406592952757032011-12-13T08:06:00.000-08:002011-12-13T08:09:41.020-08:00December posthere is our dec 2012 newsletter:<br /><br />http://e2ma.net/map/view:CampaignPublic/id:1351964.7678910930/rid=f0a6098c506217c62ee8c86a2108fba6<br /><br />paste this into your browserAnonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08856951835742556698noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4427172858712477714.post-53323684606242994812011-08-16T11:30:00.000-07:002011-08-16T11:39:36.946-07:00back in MS<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSlmqBnX7kTS548r706UjgZpWKZxPCEp5hXawJSAg7-mTtTCl8iwOjbzh33IqRXA7hrM6KDG1mAM_yMK2dSqtXutQYhz1xZ1MuPVVS7EUSis-u43K5BNA1isFaUYAJWtphmJCMZ1Ao_bUz/s1600/DSCF0596.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSlmqBnX7kTS548r706UjgZpWKZxPCEp5hXawJSAg7-mTtTCl8iwOjbzh33IqRXA7hrM6KDG1mAM_yMK2dSqtXutQYhz1xZ1MuPVVS7EUSis-u43K5BNA1isFaUYAJWtphmJCMZ1Ao_bUz/s320/DSCF0596.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5641524924790376834" /></a>
<br />We are back in MS, residing in Brandon now, and our children are at Northwest Rankin schools, go Cougars??? strange coming from a Pearl Pirate.. All is well, we are just anxious to get our new routines down, and I am anxious to get back on the road, traveling and speaking again, telling the stories we have about Peru and trusting that God supplies the increase we need. Lulu, who had lost two of her front teeth several months ago in a fall, has officially lost the remaining tooth, too many bumps and bangs, so I put it out of its misery a few day ago. She will be toothless until her adult teeth grow in. Caleb is playing 9th grade football, liking it so far, and Jacob is enduring. Rebekah and Zachary seem to like their classes and teachers. We still plan to leave early January for Peru, so please pray our finances improve and our faith remains strong. btw, we are loving our new house, thanks Pinelake Church!

And we want to thank McLaurin Heights Baptist church especially for letting us stay in their missionary house. All the kids are in Pearl schools, really close by, in fact Caleb and Jacob walk everyday. Susan continues her excercise routines at the Courthouse gym, and Dale does a few days a week also. Meanwhile, Dale is calling and emailing, visiting supporting churches, and doing other work related to the medical ministry and economic development with the mission. God had been good to us, and we see now we really needed this time of refreshment. Here are some recent photos. One is of Rebekah and her latina friend from school, who also attends the hispanic service next door, where we go at times to keep up our Spanish. Also Jacob visited a vet for career day; He is interested now in being a vet.<div style='clear:both; text-align:LEFT'><a href='http://picasa.google.com/blogger/' target='ext'><img src='http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif' alt='Posted by Picasa' style='border: 0px none ; padding: 0px; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial;' align='middle' border='0' /></a></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08856951835742556698noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4427172858712477714.post-36673550778764675652010-12-29T06:17:00.000-08:002010-12-29T06:34:53.653-08:00End of the year post<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguiXWs5jWx2Hwk7aInZE291kfmodrHIfppQ-7t-62CLp0Cz0Y1ZhKGzk43pn0gSnDcQBCvbVnn-MOSgmSiSvfrR6rpN9X67F0JU825XQiXPFGJXKvYgWQDottqeCztoJBZzoiNUpCude_x/s1600/CMP1.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 197px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguiXWs5jWx2Hwk7aInZE291kfmodrHIfppQ-7t-62CLp0Cz0Y1ZhKGzk43pn0gSnDcQBCvbVnn-MOSgmSiSvfrR6rpN9X67F0JU825XQiXPFGJXKvYgWQDottqeCztoJBZzoiNUpCude_x/s320/CMP1.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5556112605237930466" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYC1awijBTDJusF1lk9VrJYLr-fGtkaF5-ebj1D6EMChWs5-RvpymhkNE-kiJOuXWLqHQxtmCMQcS2wmnKXZ7lLHbz_uZngYdjlWNWGssUuW3TikL5YJJktRUD0olWkUb8knclzwsISanV/s1600/DSCF0376.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYC1awijBTDJusF1lk9VrJYLr-fGtkaF5-ebj1D6EMChWs5-RvpymhkNE-kiJOuXWLqHQxtmCMQcS2wmnKXZ7lLHbz_uZngYdjlWNWGssUuW3TikL5YJJktRUD0olWkUb8knclzwsISanV/s320/DSCF0376.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5556112596685435778" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggx3A0DnE0ALHuneGlfYPTVc3eKdnVlk3jUJqepoh-kNj-O2TfGTSShdCvP_aGB9JNP8-1kHAMSc2uGcx4ARK_bguZeh91fJPU3odfUD74HwtKokp0aWIVZt7raCL_mxPILAiH8dGewdSf/s1600/DSCF0361.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggx3A0DnE0ALHuneGlfYPTVc3eKdnVlk3jUJqepoh-kNj-O2TfGTSShdCvP_aGB9JNP8-1kHAMSc2uGcx4ARK_bguZeh91fJPU3odfUD74HwtKokp0aWIVZt7raCL_mxPILAiH8dGewdSf/s320/DSCF0361.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5556112590987811922" /></a><br />We are back in our native state of Mississippi, enjoying the holidays with family and friends. We have left Peru for a season, home again here to visit churches and supporters, raise more support and awareness, and refocus our minds and calling as we prepare to go back to Peru after a time and continue in the work. It is a shock moving between cultures, as we face conflicting emotions; sadness at leaving our friends in Peru, and joy with the happy reunions we find here in the states. But God is good and is helping our transition. We plan on placing our kids in Pearl public schools for the next term, and Dale will be busy making phone calls and lining up visits to churches and other places.....(he hopes to apply to grant institutions and foundations to raise money for the Arevelo hospital construction, please be in prayer about this!)<br />Here are some photos of our last days in Peru<br />Caleb's birthday party, Lauren's Christmas program at her school, Dale's last day at the clinic,Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08856951835742556698noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4427172858712477714.post-84083248566621712112010-10-07T06:27:00.000-07:002010-10-07T06:44:39.514-07:00Springtime<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJlWWYCXL-XZb_Lz_y5hz8xjt7Tpx1t-gvc4EkE5GKsw9D0J2gEVSriQraTGEltb0BasaD6-qzT5s5umN0LUTfZzygJOOwAur9ObvinlFlXrAvaegL5ZIOSQtx2-0OhL4FO8j7XC2eNCwz/s1600/DSCF0212.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJlWWYCXL-XZb_Lz_y5hz8xjt7Tpx1t-gvc4EkE5GKsw9D0J2gEVSriQraTGEltb0BasaD6-qzT5s5umN0LUTfZzygJOOwAur9ObvinlFlXrAvaegL5ZIOSQtx2-0OhL4FO8j7XC2eNCwz/s320/DSCF0212.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5525299599100878658" /></a><br />It's Spring here in Trujillo, but the weather makes it still seem like winter.<br />We had the annual Spring Parade last week, with baton twirlers from the states here<br />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<br />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.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08856951835742556698noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4427172858712477714.post-77997428778685913252010-08-09T08:58:00.000-07:002010-08-09T09:09:57.615-07:00Improvements at Arevelo church<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQwLBEf_vTnzx92WNRls3XBUmOubpU-58rSM0IJrqjtmNIAlAVWtTRhn_mtHc33QaVugkSM1NjWJBZU7J3ko3yzpG8I0Tz0xYbx-PChwKKIIHm2rdW3TNkR7taj4z0PVCzunL4PW-L5cPa/s1600/DSCF0142.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQwLBEf_vTnzx92WNRls3XBUmOubpU-58rSM0IJrqjtmNIAlAVWtTRhn_mtHc33QaVugkSM1NjWJBZU7J3ko3yzpG8I0Tz0xYbx-PChwKKIIHm2rdW3TNkR7taj4z0PVCzunL4PW-L5cPa/s320/DSCF0142.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5503442330392429330" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9MCy4YvhPVY5cXGUJ5dpPMrWI9ga3IDYJTuEorkK_3O2GixuysV0DAaGH4XN85Y348i-liJKFmgRKMHb_rJ3JiMYZB4UQp1oZKrPEOyzCiAlTRpTSGZa2uaKDQFYdHHnQTc47ox26oVbE/s1600/DSCF0141.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9MCy4YvhPVY5cXGUJ5dpPMrWI9ga3IDYJTuEorkK_3O2GixuysV0DAaGH4XN85Y348i-liJKFmgRKMHb_rJ3JiMYZB4UQp1oZKrPEOyzCiAlTRpTSGZa2uaKDQFYdHHnQTc47ox26oVbE/s320/DSCF0141.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5503442323627110978" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCerqAz8HAVmUpRbBZ_kojDaeKb5ws7o-VeHvqHQU5cqQra2kOA4BDxQnp8Z0l6bmnSrUn_tx4n8gqZlSQNhCJNBNVfGGg_xjraS2sKjVBFTUflPsZ2NNxo_jfbjYogZ8hEo3KMv9LB336/s1600/DSCF0136.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCerqAz8HAVmUpRbBZ_kojDaeKb5ws7o-VeHvqHQU5cqQra2kOA4BDxQnp8Z0l6bmnSrUn_tx4n8gqZlSQNhCJNBNVfGGg_xjraS2sKjVBFTUflPsZ2NNxo_jfbjYogZ8hEo3KMv9LB336/s320/DSCF0136.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5503442315900420146" /></a><br />A team from Penn. is here now making us a new parking space in front of the Arevelo church where we attend as a family.

Julie is a former intern from W. Virginia<br />and Julton is our new MD at the clinic, a young man recently out of med school. We went to their wedding and can <br />tell God will bless them and use them in a great way both here in Peru and in the states. <br />In the midst of this joy we have always the sick with us. The photos are of a young girl brought down by her father<br />from the mountains in need of health care. Sonia our OB nurse did the initial exam and sent the girl of 14 years for an ultrasound. The results were not good; she has a rapidly growing tumor on her ovary. You can see from the photos how much her abdomen is already distended. So we have collected some money, and Saturday I and Agnes will go donate some blood for her surgery on Monday. We expect the total cost of all her tests and hospitization to be about $1000, money which the clinic does not have. A television channel came out to film her and request donations, so I thought I would do the same. If you would like to help write a check to CMS and designate it "Clinic patient fund".<br />And please pray, the dianosis is not good for this young girl...even with the surgery.<div style='clear:both; text-align:RIGHT'><a href='http://picasa.google.com/blogger/' target='ext'><img src='http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif' alt='Posted by Picasa' style='border: 0px none ; padding: 0px; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial;' align='middle' border='0' /></a></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08856951835742556698noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4427172858712477714.post-52549047904917390972010-03-24T07:31:00.000-07:002010-03-24T07:36:12.846-07:00Great news!Yesterday was supposed to be the final inspection of our clinic by the ministry of health. Early in the morning I arrived at the offices and awaited Dr. Raul our chief doctor. When he arrived the secretary in charge of inspections said that a final inspection was not necessary and that she could sign the papers that day! So hopefully by the next two week we will officially receive our license to operate as a clinic and be completely legal! It really is miraculous seeing that this lady told a few weeks ago that she did not know when we would have our final inspection since the inspection team is not functioning right now...the previous delay between inspections was a year and a half/! But we feel God intervened and moved this lady to sign the papers..Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08856951835742556698noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4427172858712477714.post-3507126749800289802010-02-23T09:30:00.000-08:002010-02-23T09:32:26.351-08:00time for some rest<a href='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUxaaBgtJf1Jby3QxXSqCakJE1jwVfiiaA3HGFv1yDo0NEO576e_zX6eLNRN1Cr7YML1pkhg55Kca8ZArxl-5ZRuUYmU6Dxx0YsD136jwH6etzngSAtVN-7xlwhxnff5iLE89cayKoPeDa/s1600-h/IMG_3986.JPG'><img src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUxaaBgtJf1Jby3QxXSqCakJE1jwVfiiaA3HGFv1yDo0NEO576e_zX6eLNRN1Cr7YML1pkhg55Kca8ZArxl-5ZRuUYmU6Dxx0YsD136jwH6etzngSAtVN-7xlwhxnff5iLE89cayKoPeDa/s320/IMG_3986.JPG' border='0' alt=''style='clear:both;float:left; margin:0px 10px 10px 0;' /></a> <br /><a href='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYrKxDCFo_oWwqNUq9cnUJDBV4JqEURgOe-39EskBwxojtZjFKhynyyjrN6IWdUJ0NAsm9s-zt-ypXZD1tKEZkDdA6ivgrteNEh_E5tUnjjQ97NJZq08mmBiQxvHmljhT7BDIyZztogy9P/s1600-h/IMG_3993.JPG'><img src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYrKxDCFo_oWwqNUq9cnUJDBV4JqEURgOe-39EskBwxojtZjFKhynyyjrN6IWdUJ0NAsm9s-zt-ypXZD1tKEZkDdA6ivgrteNEh_E5tUnjjQ97NJZq08mmBiQxvHmljhT7BDIyZztogy9P/s320/IMG_3993.JPG' border='0' alt=''style='clear:both;float:left; margin:0px 10px 10px 0;' /></a> <br /><a href='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgR37TgvTgmYtx_Caa9JTpGWH1MQXb1isslzQlSauhqp8BgWvyBggpViNvRFYkJ3_3b9Q0yFlAhT2CPfKBLSlYczulliUBT9KRC6JtJMcUW4NtDR3vw9XThWS_OcUq37eDMKLfH9Gmu_ifK/s1600-h/IMG_3997.JPG'><img src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgR37TgvTgmYtx_Caa9JTpGWH1MQXb1isslzQlSauhqp8BgWvyBggpViNvRFYkJ3_3b9Q0yFlAhT2CPfKBLSlYczulliUBT9KRC6JtJMcUW4NtDR3vw9XThWS_OcUq37eDMKLfH9Gmu_ifK/s320/IMG_3997.JPG' border='0' alt=''style='clear:both;float:left; margin:0px 10px 10px 0;' /></a> <br /><a href='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj99l-3n-5xM5MW7Er5ZZSFBrycDGfmCCVlyveGYcUWilk_zBsETVRqOkkv_pMvWxehk3iCOyqdCoxjsP8BfuIYNmfIoykw5wGg0BETeBnxfFUu37EtGFILQQEWZVb97_hStnkKj-Kkrf4b/s1600-h/IMG_4002.JPG'><img src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj99l-3n-5xM5MW7Er5ZZSFBrycDGfmCCVlyveGYcUWilk_zBsETVRqOkkv_pMvWxehk3iCOyqdCoxjsP8BfuIYNmfIoykw5wGg0BETeBnxfFUu37EtGFILQQEWZVb97_hStnkKj-Kkrf4b/s320/IMG_4002.JPG' border='0' alt=''style='clear:both;float:left; margin:0px 10px 10px 0;' /></a> <br />Being back in the states for two months was very encouraging for us, and refreshing. We saw many of our family and friends, made some visits and relaxed quite a bit, especially since it was so cold, we stayed inside a lot and took it easy. Glad to be back here again in Peru, though, working and keeping busy. Susan is teaching the kids, and they now spend afternoons at the pool, since it is summer here. I am at the clinic or Casa San Agustin a lot, catching up with my admin stuff or plotting out the future for our medical ministry. The photos are our kids at grandparents, us in Starkville for a basketball game, and finally back in our house in Peru.<div style='clear:both; text-align:LEFT'><a href='http://picasa.google.com/blogger/' target='ext'><img src='http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif' alt='Posted by Picasa' style='border: 0px none ; padding: 0px; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial;' align='middle' border='0' /></a></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08856951835742556698noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4427172858712477714.post-17613011500214850812009-12-09T14:14:00.000-08:002009-12-09T14:15:00.328-08:00christmas 2009<a href='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8HqkLlF-5S0tiFZIFZWAlSmGPPDPW8F-r7NDtJX0I-Z6zXntwtlmEU77MY_XDUIgMa-GdXF2IfMor4pHJoLssm6IPwl1S7Z3NHMrBZErUgXLBMsa-dbIkNuZUDip8b6r-COpuMYvmnAGP/s1600-h/IMG_3871.JPG'><img src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8HqkLlF-5S0tiFZIFZWAlSmGPPDPW8F-r7NDtJX0I-Z6zXntwtlmEU77MY_XDUIgMa-GdXF2IfMor4pHJoLssm6IPwl1S7Z3NHMrBZErUgXLBMsa-dbIkNuZUDip8b6r-COpuMYvmnAGP/s320/IMG_3871.JPG' border='0' alt=''style='clear:both;float:left; margin:0px 10px 10px 0;' /></a> <br />here in MS, we've had snow, and time to visit some friends and other folks,<br />a special time in Corinth with the Bradfords was nice for us and our kids<br />see our picasa photo page for more!<div style='clear:both; text-align:LEFT'><a href='http://picasa.google.com/blogger/' target='ext'><img src='http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif' alt='Posted by Picasa' style='border: 0px none ; padding: 0px; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial;' align='middle' border='0' /></a></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08856951835742556698noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4427172858712477714.post-32321591937376118142009-12-05T05:34:00.000-08:002009-12-09T14:15:27.082-08:00back in Pearl, MS<a href='http://localhost:49294/c31195c8c02e147d20caf5cebcfbec65/image/ead173612dd6dcd4.jpg'><img src='http://localhost:49294/c31195c8c02e147d20caf5cebcfbec65/image/ead173612dd6dcd4.jpg?size=320' border='0' alt=''style='clear:both;float:left; margin:0px 10px 10px 0;' /></a> <br /><a href='http://localhost:49294/c31195c8c02e147d20caf5cebcfbec65/image/a9e93b3de76b28e7.jpg'><img src='http://localhost:49294/c31195c8c02e147d20caf5cebcfbec65/image/a9e93b3de76b28e7.jpg?size=320' border='0' alt=''style='clear:both;float:left; margin:0px 10px 10px 0;' /></a> <br /><a href='http://localhost:49294/c31195c8c02e147d20caf5cebcfbec65/image/b04d0ace787d0d33.jpg'><img src='http://localhost:49294/c31195c8c02e147d20caf5cebcfbec65/image/b04d0ace787d0d33.jpg?size=320' border='0' alt=''style='clear:both;float:left; margin:0px 10px 10px 0;' /></a> <br /><br />Last night after visiting with Paul Adams and family we came back to Pearl, to our mission house, and the kids played out back in the snow.

That makes two years here without a visit back to dear ole Mississippi. We hope to visit some supporting churches, spend the holidays with family, and raise some more money. We have lost some support due to the economy and such. Our last team left last week, so I am ready for a break for a while. But even now we are thinking about the big Memphis IPC group coming next Feb. Things are well at the clinic, but my partner of a year and a half, Lora Karraker, just left, so I have to stand on my own two feet now. She was a great help in the admin side of things. Our kids are almost ready to start a new year in home school, but probably we won't start until we get back in January. Hope to see some of you then.....Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08856951835742556698noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4427172858712477714.post-39957583519373424592009-08-27T18:20:00.000-07:002009-08-27T18:28:29.410-07:00Winter in PeruWinter is almost over here, and Spring is just around the corner, according to the locals.<br />We are ready to see the sun again, because winter here generally means cool temps and lots of cloudy days when we rarely see the sun. It is calmer here now as the "summer team" season is over and we are just business as usual. That means we are focusing mostly on the clinic operations and I even managed to find time to buy a car. Lora Karraker will be leaving at the end of Sepember, and lately she has been cranking out the ideas and policy changes to help make the running of the clinic top notch. Susan and I are still searching for cheap tickets to get us back home this November. We plan to stay 2 or 3 months to visit family and friends, and also raise more money, as our support level has fallen lately. We hope to visit some new churches and old, giving reports and raising more support. The kids are very excited, as November will mark our 2 year anniversary in coming to Peru.<br />Hope to see most of you there!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08856951835742556698noreply@blogger.com0
