Had a really great weekend. On Saturday I went into Cajamarca and hiked up a very steep street from the town plaza. Then, climbed the 120 steps up to a church overlooking the city. Then hiked up to a vista above the church which afforded a magnificent panorama of the city. It was a climb, for sure, but worth the effort. It was also a beautiful, sunny day. I went back down to the plaza and took a cab to a mall, where I had lunch, then a cab to where I am staying.

Then last night, we had a wonderful Passover Seder dinner at the school. What a great experience! All of the students and staff were there. We all had a wonderful evening.

This morning we had a church service at the school. This evening, I taught at the weekly worship service. Afterward, a group of 6 of us went out for a delicious chicken dinner (see my FB post).

I am really enjoying the time here. I am looking forward to the new week.

Thanks for praying!

Well, I have completed the first week of teaching here in Peru. Everything has gone very well and it has been a wonderful week. I’ve most enjoyed the interaction with the students both inside and outside the classroom. There is so much potential here in these young men and women.
Up until yesterday I had been staying in a nice apartment on campus. But after dinner, the students were mainly studying. Also, no wifi in the apartment, so I either would go to the apartment and read until bedtime or go to the main building where I could have Internet conn cation. Anyway, my friends John and Pilar Bonner invited me to stay I. Their home, about 15 minutes from campus. It is so comfortable and spacious here, with a fast internet connection as well. I’m especially enjoying conversation with them.
More to say, but I’ll close for now.
Thanks for the prayers!

I got word last week that the kids in the Kathmandu orphanage completed their school year, passed their exams, and are on the the new school year. I also know that the orphanage needs about $1,500 U.S. dollars for their admission, supplies, books, shoes, and 2 sets of uniforms per student.

If you can help, please let me know. You can donate through PayPal, or to the MTI address.
Thanks!
