MITCHELL FAMILY BACK IN LIMA, PERU





We arrived in Lima June 18, 2010. We are settling into our former home and have been busy unpacking and getting things set up. We now have telephone and internet. (YEA!) We have reconnected with some of our friends. Last Saturday night Joy and Tim went to a Japanese singing competition at the Nikkei Cultural Center. Two of the Thirteen contestants were Japanese. It was very interesting watching the different contestants and trying to identify traits that identified them as more Japanese or Peruvian. As we were talking afterward Joy and I both commented to each other how we were impressed to pray for these people.

We have been to two high school graduations since returning and we have had the opportunity to go to our church in Mira Flores. The church is growing and has started several more Bible studies.

There is still a lot of high rise building happening and the traffic is unbelievably much worse. There are so many cars and just not enough places to put them all.

We went to the Interpol office today as part of the process to obtain new visas.

There is a lot to do when you move to a new country.

Please pray for our Nikkei and Japanese friends and potential new contacts as well as all of the Peruvian people.

Serving in Peru,
The Mitchells

Hey guys, good to hear you made it back and are getting acclimated again to life in Peru. We will pray with you that God will work mightily through your presence there as ambassadors for the King!

It was so great to meet you at PABC right before you returned to Lima! Randy and I will keep you in our prayers. Hope all your transitions go well and that your older boys do well back here in the states.
