Every time that I look at the news, I am reminded of how much we have to be thankful for.
Here’s an update on what is happening here.
We have finally finished cleaning and unpacking the suitcases. It is amazing how much mold can grow and how many bugs can move in!
School has started and Eric is teaching the English classes in the jungle at Shiri-puno. Eric and Elijah are taking a bus this morning to Tena to get the supplies for the week. Eric is putting an extension on the porch roof to help create shade and hopefully keep the house a little cooler. This week he will put screens in the remaining two windows.
One of the missionary couples in our area is relocating to the coast, so they are selling a lot of their household goods. We hope to be able to get another crockpot and a dining room table from them.
A large colony of bats has taken up residence in the rafters between the bedrooms. We are diligently trying to find a way to get them out without hurting them (they eat a lot of insects) but they must leave because they make a lot of noise at night and can carry disease. 🙁
The afternoon classes and programs at our home resume next Monday the 15th. In addition to Bible, English, Youth, and baseball, this year we will be adding a puppet ministry, with the intention of taking the puppet team to visit the villages further out and share the gospel.
As always, we covet your prayers.
Thank you for your prayers for our family’s mental, physical and spiritual well being in addition to prayers for the children and families that we minister to.
To God be the glory,
The Studebakers
