Hi there

Thank you so much for your prayers, especially for Kai and his

sleep. Despite battling a horrid cold, he has started sleeping a bit

better and is not waking nearly as frequently as before. What a

difference it makes being able to have enough rest.

This last month we were also blessed to have two good friends from

Lima, Luis and Ariana, come to stay with us for a week. It was

wonderful being able to show them around Andahuaylillas and

the surrounding countryside. Over the next few months we have

various friends and family coming to stay with us, which is going to

be very special. Jaime and I desire for our home to be a place of

rest and blessing for those who come to stay, so we are going to

have lots of practice

We also recently received the exciting news that it would seem

that we are expecting a little girl. From what we could see on the

ultrasound last week, it looks like Kai is going to have a little sister

arriving in early April. Jaime and I are so thankful that all is well and

that our baby is healthy.

Otherwise all is well here in Andahuaylillas. Most of my day is taken

up looking after Kai. I have however been able to develop quite a

lovely friendship with the young lady who looks after our

neighbour’s son. The children generally spend the afternoon

playing together, so we spend a lot of time talking and sharing. I

am really trusting that God can use it as an opportunity for me to

share His love with her.

Thank you for being a part of the work that we are doing here in

Cusco. It is our greatest desire that God can make His love and

power known through us in this little part of the world.

Much love, Kim

This last month Jaime has made various trips to visit Primitivo

and the blueberries he has been farming for us. Our aim this

month was to provide him with good soil to optimise the

growth of the plants. Below are some photos of our blueberries

and of Jaime delivering the soil at Primitivo’s home. The photo

bottom right is of Jaime, Primitivo and Ronal.

Over the last few weeks Jaime and Ronal have been busy

with the construction of the greenhouse in Marcaconga. It has

been really exciting because we have been able to contract

some of the local community members to help build it and in

so doing provide them with employment, albeit short-term at

the moment. It has also been a good opportunity for Jaime to

start getting to know the members of the community better.

Below are some pictures of Jaime working together with the

locals to make the adobe (mud) bricks that will be used for

the walls of the greenhouse. In total over 1500 bricks were

made. This week they will be laying the foundations of the

greenhouse and then the building will begin.

Please continue to pray with us for the construction of the greenhouse. At the moment there

are often large thunder storms accompanied by heavy rain and even hail. Trust with us that the

building will advance despite the storms and that the people we have contracted will honour

their contracts with us. Please also continue to trust with us that we will be able to form solid

and lasting relationships with people in the community.

Jaime, Kai and I have all suffered horrible colds this last month and at the moment Kai has an

ear infection. Please trust with us for the health of our family and that the colds and flu so

common at this time of year will not affect us.

Please keep Rosnely (the lady who looks after our neighbour’s son) and Roxana (the lady who

helps me to clean the house) in your prayers. Both are passing through difficult family situations.

Please trust with me that God will give me the opportunity to share His love and truth with them.

If you have any comments or questions, please feel free to write to me any time. It would be really

lovely to hear from you. My email address is [email protected].

Thank you again for your incredible

faithfulness in partnering with us in this

journey. Jaime and I thank God for each

and every one of you. We pray that it will

be both a blessing and encouragement

to you to know that your prayers and

faithfulness make a big difference in this

part of the world!

Please keep us in your prayers….
