Many of you have been praying for Hilberto.  Thank you!  The Doctors evaluated his eye condition last Monday and determined that his case was a tough one to fix but they decided to operate anyway and pray that God would work a miracle.  It has been 5 days since the operation and Hilberto says there is a dramatic improvement in his sight but he is still recuperating and it is difficult to tell what the final outcome will be.  Keep praying!

I didn't mention it in the last blog post but please be praying also for his wife Laura, who was struggling with malaria and parasites when we sent them to the coast last week.  We were able to get her to the right doctors and now she is doing much better.  It looks like they will need a few weeks of treatments and check-ups in Trujillo before they come back to their village here in the jungle.

These people are very humble, very poor and very much trusting in the Lord.  This is the first time they have been farther than 15 miles from their village.  They are used to cooking either fish that they caught or game that they hunted over on open fire while living in an adobe hut.  Needless to say; the big, bustling city of Trujillo with honking horns and bright lights is probably a big shock for them.  We thank the Lord for our Peruvian brothers on coast that are taking good care of Hilberto and Laura.
