Busy Week Ahead!

Hello everyone! This is just a a quick note to ask for your prayers this week. Things are going to be hectic! As well as all our regular church meetings and hours of homework everyday, we´ve been asked to take the Sunday School this week which happens during the main church meeting. Please pray for us as we prepare and get ready.

As well there is a discipleship programme beginning this week, which Simon is able to be involved in. Please pray for Nelson and Rezar who are both in their 20s and want to learn more about the Bible through this course.

Please pray that we´d continue to learn and understand more of the language. It can be very frustrating and tiring at times. This week our classes have changed again - Shirley is in school 8.30-12.00, Lynne 10.30-2.00 and Simon 2.30-6.00. Please pray that we´d be able to communicate well with others.

Also please pray that we´d get to know the young people in the church more and more. This week we´ve been able to get to know Abel who has been teaching Simon how to cook...he needs it! He has been here most mornings cooking lunch for us. It turns out Abel is a chef in a 3-star restaurant so we´ve been getting meals which normally cost up to $30...which has been great!

Thankyou for all your prayers. It´s really encouraging to hear that people are praying for us and we hope that with all we have to do this week that God would use us.

  1. Hey Guys!

    Good to get these specific points for prayer. Looking forward to sampling some of Simon's dishes when he's here in the South! Remembering 'The Arequipa 3' in prayer every evening.

    Love from the Tacna 3

  2. Thinking of you this week in your busyness. Praying for Sunday. Good to see Beth last night in Bangor. Abel sounds like a good guy to know.
    Blessings!

  3. Don't think Simon could charge $30 for his meals. He could maybe try to pay Shirley and Lynee $30 to eat his food!!! What am I talking about? Maybe you could teach your mother to cook when you get home!!
