Greetings from Iquitos!  We are thankful to have arrived safely and are thrilled to be spending time with the Glovers (and their pet miniture monkey) in their comfortable home!  There were some very tight flight connections due to delays, but the Lord allowed us to make it on each flight.  Thankfully we did not have to pay for any of our luggage which saved almost $300, but because of the tight connections 2 of our personal bags did not make it.  The airline hopes to have it to us in the morning before we go down the river, so we greatly appreciate your prayers for those to come in!!!  There’s not a local Wal-Mart to get clothing from here!  The weather is very mild today… hopefully we’ll have more to come!

     We look forward to using the eye glass ministry later this afternoon for a group of 20 Peruvian Baptist pastors who are gathered for a conference.  Should be a good way for us to practice before we go to the villages! We hope to train our Peruvian brothers how to do this ministry as well so it can be used in the future. 

  In the morning we get to worship with brother Alandino’s church, and then we will board the boat around lunch and begin travelling to Pebas.  Thank you for your prayers for safe travel and ministry opportunities along the way.  It is wonderful to be back and are excited to visit the churches in the villages!   Jake is able to come with the team down the river which we are so thankful for!  

   Thank you for your continued prayers~

  Julia, Amy, Raymond and Melinda
