Peruvian Food

What a wonderful day we had last Friday in Washington D.C. Over two hundred people descended on the capital to engage the lost with the Gospel. I was able to speak with a young Chinese lady while waiting on the train, and two Central American men in sitting in Union Station. It was a profitable day for me as well as the entire group. It was wonderful to hear how God opened doors all day for people to share all over the city.

We ate lunch at Casa Blanca, a Peruvian restaurant, in downtown D.C. and the food was wonderful. I had the pollo saltado which was very good. As we entered the restaurant it was very busy, but as we were leaving it was just about empty. This gave us time to share and pray with our waitress who was from Peru and to pray for her family and the business. This Friday Sandy and I have to return to D.C. to have our passports stamped with our visas. Pray that God will provide divine appointments for us as we visit the city again.

It is cold and raining here, and we are hoping before we leave to see a little snow. The quads are decorating for Christmas. It is pretty to walk and see the Christmas tress lit up in the quads. It is just another sign that our time here is winding down and soon we will be with our new team family in Peru.

Hi Alan and Sandy,
My wife (Page) and I have been attending and will soon be joining Ridgecrest. We were there the day the congregation prayed over you and "sent you out." I am happy to have found your blog. It is so nice to be able to keep up with the day-by-day events in a missionary's life.

May God bless you as your journey for His glory continues. My prayer for you is that the Lord will place people in your path who will be responsive to the Gospel of Christ. Thank you for your willingness to live a life devoted to His causes.

I think we ate at that same restaurant during training.

We had snow the 2nd week of December so there is still hope!

We can't wait until January when we cam you your necks.
