We are actually here.

It is hard to believe we have been in Peru for two weeks. Our time has been filled with meetings, working on our country papers, and office work. We walk everywhere so hopefully I will be losing some weight. We have already moved once and will move again in a month or so to our apartment.

I just returned yesterday from a week long vision trip with Valleydale Baptist Church of Hoover, Alabama. We went to Caraveli which is south of Nasca, and it was a wonderful and very productive week. God blessed our time and provided several divine appointments. The weather was great with just a little rain a couple of evenings.

Today we went downtown Lima to the Immigration Offices to get our carnet. We are official residents of Peru now. It was an interesting experience and went so smoothly. Monday we are flying to Santiago, Chile, for our annual general meeting. We will be there all of next week for worship, and training sessions. As soon as we return from Chile we begin our language training at an institute in our area.

We have the most wonderful team members, and they are our new family here in Peru. We are blessed to on the REAPSouth team. Please pray for our team as we continue to work with our partners to reach Southern Peru. Also pray for us as it is time to get serious with language study so we can communicate the gospel clearly.

Tomorrow is another busy day in the REAP office.

Blessings
Alan and Sandy

I am so surprised at how fast you got your carnets.
