I love good news first thing in the morning. I was quite surprise (and excited) this morning when I started reading my email to learn that I have been assigned not one, but two students to serve from August to December with me. This is awesome!
My teammates who teach English classes for translators (and do SO much more) are leaving in July. Knowing this, my supervisor and I decided to request 2 students to come and fill their huge shoes for a semester at a time. I honestly didn't expect to receive any students. Oh me of little faith. Kaleigh and Lindsay will be coming this fall and I couldn't be more excited!

Thankful Thursday
You alone are the Lord. You made the heavens, even the highest heavens, and all their starry host, the earth and all that is on it, the seas and all that is in them. You give life to everything, and the multitudes of heaven worship you.

You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they were created and have their being.

Prayer Request *Update*
Thank you so much for your prayers for my teammate Felicia this morning. She has come through surgery well, the screw has been removed from her foot and tomorrow she can begin putting weight on it again.
Healing is going to continue to take time, and I'm sure some days will be easier than others. Please continue to lift up Felicia as she works to rebuild the muscle in her leg.
To continue to follow Felicia's story, you can check out the Henderson's family blog, here.

Prayer Request
Hello Prayer Warriors,
My sweet teammate, Felicia, is having surgery in the morning to removed a screw from her foot. Felicia has quite a story from a fall in November. She's battled with a blood clot, her blood being too thick (and having to get injections in her stomach), which have caused the surgery to be delayed until, Lord-willing, tomorrow.

Felicia said on her blog today:
I dread being awake during the surgery, and I really dread the IV being "hammered" (or so it felt) in the top of my hand. Pray for the following items, PLEASE:
- gentleness from staff (IV, etc.)
- peace before, during, and after the surgery
- the surgeon (Dr. Suarez) and staff at Clinica San Felipe for the surgery, & doctors (cardiologists Dr. Talledo and Dr. De La Pena) at Clinica Anglo Americana for continued treatment of my clot
- the clot to dissolve safely
- rapid healing of her leg/ankle/foot
- strength and stability in learning to walk again
Felicia has to be at the hospital at 7:15 (EST) tomorrow morning. Thank you so much for your prayers for her through surgery and recovery.

Thankful Thursday
I am so thankful to serve alongside an incredible team of missionaries. I started thinking today about those who started this team and have since returned Stateside, the impact they made and how they paved the way for those of us who are currently in Peru. I'm thankful for their ministry, sacrifice, dedication and commitment to the Lord.

Psalms
As I've been reading Psalms over the last few days these verses have really stuck in my mind. I don't have an exegesis on these passages, I just wanted to share scripture. Maybe these passages will speak truth into your life as they have mine.
Rest in God alone, my soul,
for my hope comes from Him.
He alone is my rock and my salvation,
my stronghold; I will not be shaken.
My salvation and glory depend on God;
my strong rock, my refuge, is in God.
Trust in Him at all times, you people;
pour out your hearts before Him.
God is our refuge.
Psalm 62:5-8
Sing to the LORD a new song;
sing to the LORD, all the earth.
Sing to the LORD, praise his name;
proclaim his salvation day after day.
Declare his glory among the nations,
his marvelous deeds among all peoples.
For great is the LORD and most worthy of praise;
he is to be feared above all gods.
For all the gods of the nations are idols,
but the LORD made the heavens.
Splendor and majesty are before him;
strength and glory are in his sanctuary.
Psalm 96:1-6
