Peruvian Way

First off we would like to apologize for not updating so regularly. So much has happened in the past months but we would like to just share a few highlights with you all.

Our precious Eliya is now 1 yr. old and is walking all over the place, she is growing up so fast. She is such a sweetie, one of the things she loves to do is smile and wave at every one when we are out.

Well if you haven’t heard already just this past month our house got broken into as well the Bible College which is where we live. They pretty much took all electronic things; our laptop, hard drive, camera, iPod, and a portable dvd player. One of the things that hurt the most wasn’t that we lost those things but it was all the pictures (which is why we have no pictures for this update), video’s, and etc. that we had on them. We were sad but at the same time we knew that God had a purpose for all things and we knew that He was by our side along the way.

Now with good news… The Lord has blessed us with a new laptop, thank you so much for those who blessed us with one. We are very grateful for it…!!!! But it doesn’t stop there…. Just this last week we heard from the Embassy and they accepted Sandra’s visa, which means we will be going to the States for Christmas!!!! We cannot believe it, we were not suppose to hear back from them until 6-9 months but through prayer and fasting and God’s faithfulness we heard back in only 4 months. God has been speaking to Sandra through prayer, and she had peace that God was going to respond in a quick way. She was doing her devotions in James 5 where it speaks of the effective prayer of a righteous man avails much, it said that Elijah prayed “earnestly” for rain and God gave him rain, and then he prayed “earnestly” for no rain and God gave him no rain. God was faithful and continues to be our Faithful One. The same day we got a call from the Embassy. God responded in a quick way, and we give Him all the glory. Praise Him when He takes away and Praise Him when He gives!!!

Thank you all for your prayers and we look forward to seeing you all when in the States!

Love to all and we will keep you all up to date as time goes,

The Swans
