Friday morning update!

It is Thursday evening, Dec. 1. We have completed our first installation in Kawai at the Boys Home over the past  5 days.  The men worked long days into  most nights, along with staff that will be operating and maintaining the equipment, to build a good system.  We have all learned more about being flexible, innovative, resilient and reliant on God's will as problems came up and then somehow were solved. The boys and staff were attentive and appreciative while learning about germs, washing hands and the use of their clean water. Suzanne, Terry, and Dennis will go back to Kawai on their last day in Peru to do some additional work on the pump to be sure all goes well after we are gone.

Yesterday Carson, Bruce and Rusty left to get a head start in Iquitos and today Suzanne,Terry,Beth and Dennis  followed. Iquitos is in northern Peru at the headwaters of the Amazon River and is  the largest land locked city in the world (accessible only by boat and air). It is a much different city and people than Lima. This installation is at I.M.F. Peniel Church which sits in the middle of a poor community of family homes. We have worked over 2 years to establish a relationship  with this church and community, building trust and understanding of our covenant with them. They have worked faithfully to get their site ready for us and are looking forward to having clean water. 

We are all thankful to be healthy and to have hot water for showers and comfortable beds to sleep in tonight. 
We send our blessings to all of you from Peru!
