August Pastors' Wives' Meeting
Our August meeting was held on the 4th. Our theme for the month was on criticism. The wife of the director of the Bible College spoke and did an excellent job. If we would just follow what she said, there would be fewer problems.
We had a good attendance even with my two sisters-in-laws and my mother-in-law missing.
I was in charge of the craft. I taught them how to make butterflies using colored tissue paper and simple white glue. The butterflies then can be cut and glued onto cardboard for greeting cards or put on the wall. Several ladies took my simple ideas and created new and different things (yes, better). Peruvians are very creative people.
Here is Dalila with a complete page. Also, a dear lady in the States sent some money for me to buy something for the ladies. The prices here have increased greatly as well. We chose to buy them beans, rice and bouillon cubes.

The Rochester Group
The group from Rochester, Minnesota, was here from August 6th though the 11th. There were 14 in their group.
On Wednesday afternoon, they worked together to tear down one of the older adobe houses on the Bible College grounds. There were many cracks in the walls.
In the evening, they went to our church and sang a special.
On Thursday, we hired a bus to take us to camp to do some work. Jon's dad had a trailer which needed to be sanded and painted. It will be used for storage.
By the end of the day, the container was painted. A job well done.
It wasn't all work, however. On Sunday afternoon, they took a trip to the beach. There wasn't much time for a swim, but a few got wet.

Randy and Grace Chovan were with us from June 28th though July 23rd. Randy preached in one of our churches every night except two night. Jon and his dad helped with the translating.
The Chovan's youngest child, Jonathan, age 10, was also with us. My boys loved playing with him and missed him when he had to leave.
Here is a picture of Jon and Randy during one of the services.
