Updated Pictures from Pucallpa

Out for a stroll in the evening...don't leave home without your mosquito net!

working on strengthening those neck muscles!

Cael and Mom out to visit some neighbors

We continue to adjust back to life in Pucallpa. Paul has been setting up meetings within the various communities that FH works and several of them have been interested in starting up savings groups. He has been very encouraged by there interest and excitement and knows that God has been answering his prayers by opening these doors.
Cael and I are getting use to being at the house and are able to regularly get out and visit our neighbors who also have small children. This has been a huge encouragement as well.
Now we are anxiously waiting the arrival of Paul's parents, who are coming to visit us and see their grandson for the first time. They will be arriving next Tuesday night in Lima and will fly to Pucallpa on Wednesday. Please pray for a safe trip and pleasant weather (it has been around 100 degrees here this past week!).
Ok, enjoy the pictures!

Return to Pucallpa

First Flight


We arrived safely back in Pucallpa Sunday night. We are happy to be back in our own home and sleeping in our own bed. Cael is adjusting well to Pucallpa and the heat. He enjoys walks in the evenings, sleeping in the middle of the day, and he now coos and looks around during his baths instead of screaming and crying. Its hard to believe but yesterday he turned 1 month old! We couldn't have asked for a better baby.
Paul returned to work on Monday afternoon and is enjoying being around our co-workers once again. He attended the savings groups that were started before we left and found them doing very well. Also this Friday I was able to take Cael into the office to meet our co-workers and celebrate my first mothers day.
We have had several people helping us out with the transition back, which has been a blessing. A group of missionary women here in Pucallpa got together and have been bringing food by the house for us to eat! This has been a huge help!
Here are a few pictures of our time back in Pucallpa.
