First spanish sermon

Group of Christian physicians in Lima

   We were in Lima for 6 days and finally returned to Cusco on Monday afternoon. It was a busy but good week in Lima. We completed the visa process and were also able to buy supplies for the clinic that is currently being built in Cusco. We were also able to buy several heaters for our very cold apartment. I am very excited about this purchase! Now we are "home" and getting our apartment organized.

   The highlight of our trip to Lima was that Nathan had the opportunity to share with a group of about 35 Peruvian doctors about our vision for medical student ministry and also teach from Mark 2. It was all in Spanish and I was so proud of how well he was able to express his thoughts and feelings. At the end of the service we were called up front and were inducted into the Association of Peruvian Christian Doctors. We were pinned and several people from the group prayed over us and the ministry that is to begin in Cusco. I was not planning to speak at all, but suddenly the president gave me the microphone and asked me to say a greeting as well as thank the group for having us. Talk about being put on the spot in Spanish! I was so happy to thank them, as they were so kind and loving to us, but I get a tad nervous when I have to do that in Spanish in front of everyone. What a kind blessing from the Lord this group has been and is going to be for us in the future. We are so excited to see all that the Lord has in store for our relationship with them over the years.
