Classes as usual convened the past few weeks in March. The way they do classes here is by a block schedule where they have a class that instead of running throughout the whole semester as a weekly class they concentrate the course into two to three week increments.
I joined my only class that I would take with the student body this semester in March, Systematic Theology (I had 2 other Audio classes: Ephesians and Psalms that I basically had to revert to home schooling mode with both of them took two weeks worth of my time to do).
I have been thankful for all this time that I have been here. The Lord has been growing me and showing me many different things that are important in my relationship to Him and it has been awesome.
For the last week of March to Easter Sunday, I went with 7 other students from the Bible college as a team to a city called Huanuco for our mission trip. It was definitely a trip that was ordained by the Lord because of the fact of the provision personally for me that He showed me and for the provision for the finances for the trip itself because we were short but the Lord provided the difference with money that one morning showed up in our leaders Bible. The Loes definitely had to show us how to depend on Him fully and rely upon the Spirit's leading and hold fast to the truth of His Word and being able really resting in His presence.
We did gospel dramas, sang worship songs, fellowshipped with the believers there, and really had great opportunities to evangelize.
John and Pilar Bonner have been following and serving the Lord in Lima, Peru for approximately ten years bringing their 3 children who are all out of the house growing up, studying, and getting married in different parts of the world now. They celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary with the CC Lima, Peru church family Sunday night on the 18th of April. It was a beautiful thing. They had slideshows of them through the years together and their kids all made vids for them to see. It was a blessing for all to see the faithfulness of the Lord in their marriage and their lives together and it was a blessing even for the simple fact that a lot of us girls got to dress up. We had a great time. The Calvary Chapel Pastors from all around Lima and Peru came and prayed over them near the end of the service. And they even actually had a mariachi band come up and play a few songs (Pilar is originally from Mexico) so it was in total a real fun and awesome night.
