The week of Nov. 6th - 11th was the annual Pan Am Lectureships. This year the lectureships were in Lima, Peru. Kelley Grant, Lindsey, and I went and represented the Santiago mission team. It was a great time to get to know missions supporters from the states, as well as other missionaries that are in South America. Another highlight was getting to spend time with old friends from A&M who plan on doing mission work in Lima beginning in 2008. On our time off from the conference we got to tour the city of Lima... which has so much history! It was interesting for me to note the differences between Santiago and Lima. I didn't know there would be so many! But it was a great time! I definitely wouldn't mind visiting again. Check out the "My Pictures" link to see more photos of my trip to Lima. Enjoy!

Lindsey and I had the afternoons free to tour the city of Lima. One of the coolest things we saw was the remains of an ancient pyramid, right in the middle of the city! (Be sure to click on the "my pictures" link to see more of it!)

Pictured here are two of my favorite things about my trip to Lima... spending time with my friend Mark Clancy, and eating at Chili's (a restaurant that we don't have in Santiago.. oh how I've missed it)!!!

New Church Building Progress
I went by the new church building on Tuesday and was very excited to see how far along it has come! We should be in it by February at the latest (a few additions to construction has pushed the date back). Please be in prayer for our new church home! Below are some pictures I took, so you can see how it is progressing!
