All have arrived safely in Iquitos!  The team is rested and is happy to see many familiar faces.  After meeting Jeff Holeman in Lima and delivering suitcases of supplies for fellow missionaries, we got on the flight to Iquitos.  The first day was spent resting and shopping for the medical supplies we are taking to the villages.  We attended a church service with both congregations we are serving with at Pastor Leopoldo´s church.  Jake Glover preached a wonderful message in Spanish and was well received!  The progress on the new Seminary is wonderful.  Much work has been done since March and is now 2 stories tall.  They are very excited to have Bible classes going as the construction continues. 

  Today we have been able to shop for the food and hammocks  we are taking with us to the jungle.  The crowded and busy markets are quite a cultural experience!  We will be spending the evening with a new missionary couple in Iquitos, Jeremy and Crystal Nelson.  As Jake and Dodie Glover prepare to move here in the fall, they are needing to find housing and establish new relationships, so this time has been a blessing for their transition.

  Thank you for your continued prayers.  We will attend Pastor Richar´s church in the morning and board the boat to Apayacu. Our brothers and sisters in Christ send their love!  Please pray for travel on the river, continued health, good communication and open doors!

In Him,

   Julia Laing and team
