an update

Hey friends,

Bekah sent us an email this week.  We were glad to hear that she is still alive.  Just to update you, Lima Peru has had three earthquakes this past week with no reported; university students have been advocating for their rights and with that has come riots.  There have been a few transportation issues causing travel difficulties for the team working with Bekah.  News headlines report airline and sea travel delays.  Additionally, the transportation workers went on strike last week causing travel difficulties causing team travel issues for the Canadian team.  All is well now, the workers are no longer on strike, and the Canadians have gone home uninjured.  Bekah and the interns were able to celebrate the 4th.  According to Bekah, “life is good but hard.”  She reports that they all have been “kinda sickish.”  And they have started laying cement.  She loves stirring the mixing bucket, sounds similar to playing in the mud and I’m sure Bekah LOVES that!!!  Lastly, she reports they will be having a new intern arriving shortly.  She broke her camera while playing at the beach so it may be sometime before she has more pictures for us.

Continue to pray for good health, physical safety and team unity.  Pray for supernatural strength that comes from the Lord and for good communication.  Pray that they would have good communication amongst each other and that as they go through their days they would communicate the Gospel clearly.  

I will leave you with two of Bekah’s favorite quotes:
Jim Elliot “He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose.” 
Psalm 73:25&26 “Whom have I in heaven but you? And earth has nothing I desire besides you.  My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.”

Praying this is true for her always. 
Grace and Peace,
Carolyn
