We have had a lot going on in the last month, or so. We've been working on the house trying to get it ready to sell in January. We put in a new bathtub, tiles, and sink in the bathroom. Thanks Kelly and Jim for all their help. Praise the Lord, we have a lot of help.
We recently got to visit with Shane and Cary Treadway, missionaries in Peru. It was nice talking about what their vision is for reaching the unreached people in the Carumas valley in Peru. They are going to be moving there in the spring. They were living in another area of Peru previously.
Last weekend our church had a ladies tea. It was very nice and elegant as always. I love to worship the Lord in all different kinds of ways, and when a bunch of ladies get together, it's usually in a very nice and sweet way. We had a great worship team, thanks Joy, Jada, Erin, Cassy, Kaulana, and Marianne. (Way to go Marianne, that was her first time up in front of everybody!) It was probably my last ladies event to lead worship for. So, that's a little sad for me. But, there are many good things in store.
We are preparing for a big Christmas eve service. It's going to be mostly songs and some kids things. The worship is going to tell the story of Christmas in an outreach sort of way. We are working very hard on getting the songs sounding really good. I can't wait.
This coming Sunday, we are doing an outreach to a local Guatamalan community in Lake Worth. We are going to hand out some clothing, some toys, and possibly do songs in spanish for the kids and adults. We are hoping to do the lollipop drama, it's so much fun to do! Pray for this outreach, that we don't get run out by the police. They are starting to not let churches do these sorts of things. They don't want the poor people to gather in the parks, and they don't want anything religious to be represented in the public places. We are not sure what will happen, but we are still going to go. Pray for favor in the eyes of the authorities.

Hola Tracy. Lo siento... en estos momentos recien estoy leyendo tu blog. Yo espero que todo haya salido bien en ese lugar donde ustedes iban a hacer un alcance con esas personas pobres... Si tu puedes... dime como les fue en ese dia?

Hola Jimmy,
Te escribire sobre el alcance. Ibamos manana. Lei sobre tu viaje a Ayacucho. Me encante los fotos. Gracias por leyendo mi blog.

Hi! I am writing from Belfast and presently searching for good maps of Carumas on the internet - only to find your name. The significance is that I am serving with Baptist Missions and have had some good times with Shane & his family in Peru. Our mission have had a long history of work in the Carumas valley and while we continue to have Peruvian evangelists there on a part-time basis, the prospect of families living there full time is very exciting.
I look forward to seeing how your preparations go and will perhaps meet in Calacoa or Carumas town some day!
May you know God's grace in abundance!
