Prayer Mail from Father Shaw

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

Peace be with you.

We move into our more permanent apartment in about 20 days. There is a lot to do between now and then. Please keep this in your prayers.

Recently I came down with a 48 hour bug of some kind. Praise God, I am fine! It must have simply been adjustment bug of some kind. Sooner or later everyone´s body seems to undergo some adjustment, exept Lydia´s it seems.....

Praise report
We are making friends, especially Lydia, and our language skills are improving. One key to getting to know a culture is to bring a 15 year old daughter with you.....

Prayer requests
1. Language learning.
2. Moving apartments.
3. Communication arrangements. What do we really need?
4. Learning Lima.

I was pondering where I could go and totally immerse myself in Spanish with the vocabularly I would need to be able to teach the courses that I need to teach, and the thought occurred to me that sitting in on other classes being taught would be a good plan. I think everyone thinks it is a great idea, but how to do that is a logistical challenge until we move. So, I would appreciate your keeping that idea in prayer, as well.

Language class begins in about 5 minutes.

God bless you. I pray for you daily. Thank you for praying for us. It makes a difference.

This can be a public prayer message, as you desire.

In Christ,

Shaw, and on behalf of Julie and Lydia.
