This is Dodie writing on behalf of Julia and the team. They left at around 12:30 and asked me to post an update. Luckily, one bag made it to Iquitos on the 11 am flight this morning! This was Julia’s bag, so she was glad to have her things. The other, which contained some of the eyeglasses and a few of Raymond’s things is still in Lima. They will not let it through customs mainly because of the eyeglasses. We’ve spoken to them and they know what they are for, however the bag is not going anywhere for the moment. The team still has many more pairs of glasses with them, and Raymond packed extra clothing in other bags, so they should be ok. They will probably just pick the bag up on the way back through Lima.
Yesterday the group ran some errands and we had supper here. The pastor’s were unable to come, but maybe they’ll be another opportunity for them to take part in the eyeglass ministry later on. Everyone had no trouble falling to sleep last night! We all went to Aladino’s church this morning. I know it was a blessing for him because while he has been so faithful to go with the teams each time, this was the first time a team had visited his church.
I will try to keep you updated if I hear anything from Jake throughout the week.
Blessings,
Dodie Glover
