Final plans and Information

5 days. Wow. time flies when you're having fun. Well not much has changed since I wrote last. I am leaving Liberal Saturday to go spend some time in the Sterling area before leaving. Brittany and I are scheduled to fly out at 10:28 Tuesday morning. We are supposed to land at 10:30 that night in Lima, but we'll see if that actually happens. I don't have much faith in airlines anymore. We will then spend the night in a hostal (Oscar's Hostal) with Ken Biron, the missionary. Our flight from Lima to Chiclayo is early Wednesday afternoon. A short bus ride will get us to the school. And by short I mean about 10 minutes. I don't exactly know what will happen after that. I don't know when building will begin or anything. That will all be determined once we get there. I do know that a second plot of land has been donated. It is about 10 meters bigger each direction, but is a block away from our current building project. That is awesome, though. We can have two venues. The building will start on the smaller plot because the paperwork and plans are done for that. The other will be another project I guess. We'll see. Thank you for prayers so far. We have raised 13,000 of the estimated 25,500 dollars for the project. I am excited about this.

Now, many of you have been asking about mail and care packages. I will not be able to send or recieve any of this while there. The Peruvian government goes through all mail and takes what they want, so there is not a very good chance I would get anything that is sent. There are ways to help, though. If you really want to send something like a care pakcage this is what I suggest to do. Figure out what you would spend on items and shipping. Send that money to one of two addresses below. That can be wired down to us and then I will be able to distribute it however I feel necessary. So in a way I get to pick out what is in your care packages, haha. The top address is probably best because I don't know if Mitch wants to receive a lot of smaller donations. My church is going to send everything they get once a month in large sums, but it really doesn't matter. If you would rather the ckeck go straight to LACF, that is fine. Remember to keep checking in and I will update when i can. Thanks.
