MERRY CHRISTMAS TO EACH OF YOU!
What a joy it is to serve our Savior, who gave his life, that we might
have eternal life, plus abundant blessings while here on the earth!
Thank you for your prayers for the December graduation activities in the seminary. Each activity was a blessing to the students and all those that had the privilege to attend. I think the chapel was full for each activity.
We Praise the Lord for our grandson, Benjamin, and his family who have 60% of their support to come back to Peru to serve. This will be be the first third generation we will have with Baptist Mid-Missions in Peru. We praise the Lord for his family and trust they will arrive soon. Please pray for the rest of their support.

Pray for Ruth’s adjustment to the USA and their service for the Lord together.
Stephen is back to building. Our 20-year-old carpet ball game gave up the ghost, with a lot of help from the termites. This time he hopes to make one that the terminates do not like.
