Micah returned Monday afternoon from June's river convention dirty and tired as is normal.  He got back early while the kids and I were out on one of our very rare outings, so he broke into our house and was able to get all cleaned and unpacked before we got back.  Surprise! 

I've put a slideshow up in the sidebar with a lot of pictures, but I thought I'd give you a link here to the pictures taken on this latest trip.  (Click here, or on the picture below to see the whole album.)

Monday Micah returned, and we'll be leaving no later than Thursday for the long trek to Trujillo.  

We'll be there for a month to work with IBEM (Instituto Biblico de Entrenamiento Misionero).  

We'll be receiving Amy's mom who we'll bring back with us to Tarapoto.  She will get to stay with us for several weeks and we are VERY excited.  In her bags will arrive all the necessary homeschool materials for the upcoming school year.  Please pray that we can somehow miraculously get everything we need into the allowable luggage weight limit.  Airlines are making it painful for us overseas dwellers with all these limits and extra fees!

To pray for:

safe travel for us and all the students (no landslides or car trouble)

the professors' last minute preparations

the Lord's leading in all the classes

Amy's mom's (Mary) travel that everything would be trouble free, especially re: luggage

emotional adjustment to living in another place for a month

that we'd be able to really enjoy the change of scenery 

and accomplish all that the Lord has for us to do while in Trujillo
