WE ARE BACK IN AYACUCHO!
We descended the platform stairs and are back on Ayacucho soil once again after more than a year of being away! We thank the Lord for graciously making the way for us to return to Peru on November 5th! We got back to Ayacucho on Nov. 11th after taking care of some business in Lima. We had quite an adventurous return trip including COVID test results (within particular travel-date parameters) & new health status documents to submit, as well as the typical overseas travel stressors! But we are back now & beginning to settle into life here once again.

Some of you are aware that our return to Peru was delayed by a few days due to the passing of Rick's Uncle, a WWII Veteran who flew 32 missions as a tail-gunner in the B-17 Bomber. Rick was honored to be asked to lead the funeral services for him.

We had lunch with one of our Ayacucho church folks who happens to be in Lima currently. It was great to see her again face to face!

ZOOM meetings continue! While in Lima we participated in the all SAM/TEAM prayer mtg. Praying for our countries of service.

We ask for your prayers as we get settled back into life & ministry here in Ayacucho once again. As you may remember, we moved into a new apt. before our return to the states last year, so we are in the midst of getting organized & making our new apt. "home."
Please also pray for continued good health for us & for our team.
With rejoicing,
Rick & Donna Martin
