Time is short here in AREQUIPA, Peru where I have just under a month left of language school! Though, being done with school is going to be a huge blessing...unfortunately that does not mean I will be fluent! It seems the more you learn...the more you realize how much you don't know!
Pucallpa, Peru is on the horizon and I am very excited! I am looking to embark on three jobs (two of the three kinda blend together). I am going to be teaching high school bible as well as PE to about five kids. I am also the youth pastor to these five kids. My other job is to lead SAM's church of Mil Palmeras in the area of local missions through home projects! AREQUIPA is in southern Peru in the middle of the desert - so I am really excited to back in the land of rain and clouds again! I guess that also means muddy roads (see pic below!) This all begins on September 14th!
A huge blessing came about three weeks ago when I received a notice that a church in Texas had voted to give me $5,000. This will entirly go to help me purchase a truck - but doing some research on used truck prices - $11,000 (that amount I have) does not go very far. I am looking for more support in order to purchase a used truck in the next three months or so. If anyone knows of anyone who needs to get rid of some money...haa haa....let me know - I know where they can make a good investment! : )
Can send the "unwanted money" haa ha to:
South America Mission., INC
1021 Maxwell Mill Road, Suite B
Fort Mill, SC 29708
Phone: 803-802-8580
Last thing...I am curious if anyone is actually reading this blog - if you are...could you leave a message or email me...or even find me on facebook - please let me know!
How you can pray:
Language learning, funds for a truck, and smooth transition into ministry in mid sept.
Thanks so much!

Marshall, Keep up the good work. I liked your blog. You don't know me, but I've heard a lot about you. I'm new to Haile with my bride, Christie. I'll encourage you to really work on memorizing scripture verses in spanish...it really helps! Blessings, Dan Rambow
