Our second son Nathan, with the coordination of his dad, pulled off a shocking surprise for Nisha and the girls on December 14th when he arrived at our house here in Peru.
Our family had been praying and looking forward to our oldest son Matthew's arrival on December the 19th. But Nathan's arrival the week before shocked many.
Nathan flew from Phoenix, Arizona, had a layover in Texas to catch a plane to Lima, Peru. Once he arrived in Lima I arranged for friends from a church to pick him up and let him catch some rest before catching a 12 hour bus ride to Oxapampa where I picked him up and brought him home for the surprise. Nathan came into our bedroom to greet Nisha who yelled out in shock and disbelief before tears of joy. I quickly shut the door to give them time together as the yell woke up the girls wondering what had happened. The last time they heard a yell like that was when a loved one had passed away. After a brief moment, I opened the door to let the girls see Nathan and to get their shock of his arrival. And now Nisha must keep it a secret from Matthew until his arrival. We've enjoyed this time with Nathan as he participates in the ministry with us.
We had a record attendance of 53 in our church on December 15th.
