We had 5 minutes to spare (just about) so we thought we would take the chance to give you a quick update. Trevor arrived on Friday and we finally got to eat something other than chaufa (peruvian chicken fried rice) for dinner! On Sunday we went to Lima First Baptist Church. We think it was good but we didn´t understand a word! However we appreciated the time with other Christians.
The Amazing Journey is running well. Several school groups have come along and listened well. Another group will be arriving shortly. Gordon Darragh will also be here before heading back home. Hopefully we will have a few photos to show you soon (to make the blog more interesting).
Thanks for all you thoughts and prayers.
Roberta and Simon

Dear Roberta,
Though you resemble a sentinel in some distant post of missionary service, God will see to you. If we are where God wants us to be, He will see to the supply of our needs. Wherever you go, and what ever ministry you are called to undertake, glory in this , that you never go to any greater distance from God.
1 Kings 17; 4,9.

Roberta & Simon,
Just back in the office this morning and thinking about you as you make your way to the airport to get the lost luggage.
Joanne has assured me that at least one BWF is praying it will be intact - so I trust that will be the case (excuse the pun!)
Hope the team are doing okay. Tell them the journey home 'wasn't easy' - but we made it and before long we'll be 'sucking diesel'!
No doubt the English vocab' will be a great benefit to the team if they ever end up in Magherafelt!

Glad to hear about the return of the prodigal suitcase, sadly minus a few items.

Missing you at Children's Meeting - David's guitar went out of tune and I broke a string on mine (surprise surprise), but Reliable Sherlock was nowhere to be seen! :(

Don't envy your busy-ness, but I should, considering the reward you're gonna get for it.

Prayers & best wishes
Trev

Photo My dear Roberta, "A text from the past," lol. Dear Roberta,it pleased God when you went to Peru and that everything you do for his glory will be blessed,for God who began a good work in you will accomplish it. God cannot let his work be ashamed, God who started a good work in you wll perfect it.
