The Nelson's Journey: Fishing

So I know...you're thinking...did the Nelson's drop off the face of the earth? No- we just went on our stateside assignment. Every few weeks a tinge of guilt creeps up that I haven't posted ANY news on us since we left Peru. Which is a shame because we've still needed prayer here too. So I confess and apologize and vow to ramp back up postings as we prepare to go to Spain in January of 2013.

Here's a re-cap mode...picture style of the past few months...due to some technical issues I can't upload our pictures from the winter...so this is basically Spring/Summer 2012 minus Jenny's wedding which was last November. Enjoy!

Prayer Request:

OUR VISA APPLICATIONS FOR SPAIN WERE SUBMITTED IN AUGUST! PRAY FOR FAVOR AND APPROVAL FROM THE SPANISH GOVERNMENT.

Here are some photos from Jeremy's last trip out to work with the Urarina for this term. Enjoy!

If Goliath would have repented! HAHA- No really Pastors were praying over J, thanking him for his service to the Urarina during a special "Going Away" service they had for him.

Happiness

Urarina Families camping near good fishing sites. The boat couldn't make it any further up the river, so the team camped with these families and helped them fish for a day and a half.
