Well, a lot of people have been wondering what my next step will be after August. Ken and I talked this morning and have a definite plan. I will return to the States August 27 and spend a little time in sterling then head home to recooperate a little. After that I will begin a 2 month church tour to spread the word about LACF and all of our projects. We don't have definite contacts and churches yet, but the way we were talking, I could end up in West Virginia, San Antonio, Indiana and Ohio. After those 2 months (it will then be the first part of november) I will return to Peru for 6 months. This will take me up to May, which is what the board and I agreed on, May to May. After that, who knows. I haven't felt a definite calling either way yet. I may try to make it as a Director, I may puruse the teaching gig, I may end up in Peru. Or another country. I am pretty open right now. Or maybe I will come home after August for a few years until I find a wife who can help me down here. (only partly a joke). It's hard to get everything done in a day without help. Again, I am open for anything God leads me into. Please keep all decisions that I will be making this next year in your prayers.
Construction is coming along. We have taken a little break this past week trying to decide what is priority for the funding we have left. Our goal before I leave is to have the perimeter wall completed and straw mats set up inside as divisions so they can start using the church. Once I get more funds, they (and me when I return) can start building all of the interior stuff like the sanctuary, classrooms, kitchen, etc. Please keep funding in your prayers, but also pray that churches will open their doors to us so we can spread the word about God's awesome work in the country of Peru. Thank you for all of your support up to this point.
P.S. Pray for Ken. I am tired from helping with the work camps, but he is absolutely exhausted from it. He helps the campers every possible way and manages to maintain his job and family. Just pray for strength and encouragement. And rest.

Terry V. I was there, and all I helped you with was cooking, cleaning, and doing the laundry. So what the eff other than that do you need a wife for, then? :P Do you mean your goal while in the states is to find a wife? Cuz I can put out some ads for ya. Maybe.
