We have some very exciting news. One of the Peruvian men that is working on the job site this week accepted Christ this morning! Felipe had been speaking with him and asked him if he knew where he would go if he died today. He hung his head low and said, "To hell." Felipe continued to speak to him about that and prayed with him!!! Praise the Lord. We are working on getting him plugged into a church so he can be decipled.

Yesterday the men worked until dark and returned to the hotel to clean up. They again needed supplies from, yes you guessed it - the hardware store!! The plumbing supplies here are not properly manufactured and they do not go through quality control. So they do not always fit properly. Paul has had to try many fittings just to find one that will work.

We also went to Applebies for dinner. The men had planned on going to a soccer game, but it was raining here and they needed to go to the hardware store. Yes, it does rain here. Like a very heavy mist, but enough to make puddles. It never storms with lightening or thunder, just mist.

Today was an early start back to Jicamarca after breakfast at the hotel. Maria, JoVanna and I brought out a Peruvian meal of Rice, Beans, Hamburgers and Vegies. Tom had been wondering what a Tres Leche dessert was. So we surprised them by bringing a large cake out today. It is a cake that is made with three different milks and is very good.

Yesterday at the hardware store I had asked Marco where the restroom was and he pointed. Well it was not marked very good and I found myself in a mans bathroom! Thank God no one was inside!! Everyone thought that was just too funny expecially Marco. Today I found out that Gary had walked into a womans bathroom when at Applebiels last night but there was someone in there! He was very embarrased!!

Thank you for your continued prayers. David is feeling much better, just a sniffly nose and no fever. Continue to pray, the week has been long and the end is near. The rain and dreariness have made it challenging to work in at Jicamarca. God has been so faithful and good to each one. We have had time to sit and chat about the week and what the Lord is speaking to us. We are blessed to be here.
