Greetings From Peru

I arrived in Peru early Monday morning, about 20 hours after taking off from DFW. I won`t go into detail here, but I will write more about the trip when I get home next week. I just wanted to say that I am safe and covet your prayers as we work here. The trip was organized by a group out of Austin called Olive Branch Ministries. We have set up a health clinic and I´m meeting with a group of teenagers every morning and assisting my dad in the dental clinic every afternoon.

Here are some quick thoughts: My dad is amazing. I don´t know how he goes on so many trips like this. Seriously, amazing...Teenagers ask universal questions and have universal teenage concerns...We are so spoiled. When we arrive at the clinic each morning, there are long lines of people hoping to get in. When we leave at night, the lines for the next day are already forming. Some wait all night and for hours the next day to see a doctor or dentist...Children can find a way to have fun in any circumstances.

Please pray that things continue to go as smoothly as they have thus far and that my wife can survive another week of single parenthood.
