\"Pete
Pete & Liesl are a great addition to the team<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Changes of Plans
\n<\/em><\/strong>In April our team left the tribe when our co-worker Dan suffered from anaphylactic shock after a penicillin shot.\u00a0 For several weeks we stayed in town while he recovered from a variety of illnesses as well as edema around his heart and arrhythmia. \u00a0When it became evident that Dan was still too weak to return, our team planned our next trip without the Alkire family, leaving them in town to recoup. \u00a0In need of some hard workers to replace Dan, Sarah, and Josiah, we invited Pete and Liesl Hypki to join us.\u00a0 They proved to be such a valuable asset, that we thought we should have them around permanently!\u00a0 We are happy to announce that the \u00a0Hypkis are joining the Las Moras team to reach the Nahuatl.<\/p>\n

Dental Clinic
\n<\/em><\/strong>One of the reasons our team was in a hurry to return to the tribe was a dental clinic we had scheduled during May.\u00a0 Two dentists traveled from the U.S. and generously volunteered their time in our village.\u00a0 During a few short days they did over 400 procedures, including countless fillings, root canals, and even some surgery!\u00a0 We pray that the Nahuatl sense our desire to meet some of their physical needs while we learn what we need to in order to meet their spiritual needs.<\/div>\n

Like a Ton of Bricks
\n<\/em><\/strong>Another major work project that faced us during our return trip to the village was moving about 1,500 adobe bricks under shelter in preparation for the coming rainy season.\u00a0 These bricks are about 18 inches long and weigh nearly 30 lbs each, so you can imagine how much we looked forward to this job!\u00a0 We also spent our days visiting our neighbors, cleaning, trying to set up a satellite system, cooking, digging ditches, and getting the house ready to be closed up.\u00a0 During one hike to a nearby village, we met a young man who had injured his toe with a machete.\u00a0 The cut was dirty and infected and since the doctors weren\u2019t in town, we even preformed some impromptu medical work.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Off We Go\u2026
\n<\/em><\/strong>During the summer months, our team will be all over the place.\u00a0 Alkires have returned to the U.S. to seek medical help for Dan\u2019s back.\u00a0 Please pray that he will receive good news and good help.\u00a0 Because Rachel and I cannot stay in the tribe by ourselves, we will also be out for the entire rainy season.\u00a0 Rachel will visit family in the U.S. and Canada, and I will head to Michigan to see my family and supporters.\u00a0 The Elkins and Hypkis will also be traveling to see family and friends.\u00a0 Our scattered group will reunite in October and, as soon as the roads are dry, will move back into the tribe and begin work there again.\u00a0 We\u2019ve talked as a team about the confusing timing of our situation; we desperately want to be with Nahuatl, learning the language and preparing to share the gospel.\u00a0 We know that God knows this and loves the Nahuatl and wants to draw him to himself.\u00a0 And so, while we don\u2019t understand the delays before us, we trust that his heart is good, his hand is mighty, and his timing is perfect.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
