We are back in Lima and it's like we never left!  We arrived here Thursday night and were warmly greeted by our coordinator, Pastor Nery Zeña, his wife Teofila and daughter Yoli, and also by our good friends Pastors German and Aurora Osorio. When we got to the hotel there was a mix up and no room was available for us. Poor us - so they put us in an executive suite with a Jacuzzi for the same price as the small room we normally get! God is good!

On Friday we up and went to a lunch we planned for our closest friends. About 20 of us had lunch together as they brought in Chinese food from the Chinese restaurant right down the street. For over four hours everyone shared what the Lord had been doing in their lives. It was a wonderful time of reconnection since it had been 6 months since our last visit here.   After lunch we all sang a worship song and then prayed for one another.

Emily and I had the night off so we went to the nice downtown district of Miraflores to visit with Em's brother Dan who was here in town visiting his girlfriend Rocio. We had dinner and got a tour of some of the city's nicest venues.

Saturday morning we went to a meeting of the pastors' fraternity of San Martin de Porres (a district of Lima).  We had a chance to share about the Holy Spirit, Marriage and Family Conference which we are having later this week in their district. Pastor Nery had already gone around to the churches of most of the pastors distributing flyers about the conference and now here we were in person encouraging them to come and to bring the people of their churches. We are not charging for the conference so that the people will not have any hesitation to come. We found out that one of our good friends, Pastor Fernando Velarde, had shared about the conference with one of his pastor friends in another district called "Stone Bridge" and this pastor got so excited that he decided to have his own marriage and family conference and invited us to be do it this coming Wednesday afternoon. He is also the president of the pastors' fraternity of Stone Bridge and wants us to speak to his pastors this Wednesday before lunch, and then to minister at his church that evening. What's so interesting is that when he organized his own mini-conference on the same themes, he took our flyer, crossed out the date and time and put in Wednesday afternoon, and distributed 300 of them in his neighborhood!  I can't wait to meet this pastor. So we can see there is excitement over the message that we are bringing.
