SHaring about my year in Peru

Shalom, Hola, Hello!!  (Don't forget to check out the words in fushia below)

   Well I have been back in the USA for almost a month.  And it has been a whirlwind of excitement. 

 First of all thank you so much for all of your prayers as I left Peru.  It was very difficult to leave all of the absolutely amazing brothers and sisters that I made there.  The work is continuing strong and I know that the Lord had me there to start the work that He wanted and now He is working through other leaders there. 

  So great to remember that all along it is God's work and only He receives all of the glory for the success!  Praise God!

  Coming back to the dry, hot desert was also shocking as in Lima it is extremely humid.  So for about three days it was very difficult to breath.  Not having driven for over a year it was nice to get behind the wheel although with gas being so high i try not to stay there to long *smiles*

  A great blessing my dear friend Kate whom I met while I was in Peru came here to Arizona for a week and we were able to go to Phoenix and meet with and encourage some other people that had been previous students in Peru as well.  It was lovely to see them and be encouraged by what the Lord's doing in their lives. 

  Also the day that Kate left my best friend of 24 years, Kathryn flew in from Oklahoma with her 2 year old and 11 month old.  It was so refreshing to see her and her beautiful children.  We went to California to see her in-laws and also to Oceanside where we have other friends that have been praying and supporting me.  It was just an incredible time to come back and be able to touch base with so many of the people that are so important in my life. 

  I will be sharing all about this past year and what God has done on
