Dear Friends,

Four souls trusted Christ as their Savior this month during an evangelistic meeting at our Mission work in Huariaca and two have trusted the Lord here in Huanuco at the Central Baptist Church. They will be baptized on Sunday, June 2.

Hugo Cotrena is a young Peruvian missionary that works up in the mountains around Huanuco. He recently started a new work in the village of Shismay. We are helping Hugo with his works and we would appreciate you holding him up before the Lord regularly. We have scheduled his ordination for August 10.

Anita and I will be receiving a group of eleven folks from the Tri-Cities Baptist Church of Gray, Tennessee on June 3. They will be working in evangelistic endeavors in different works around Huanuco and Tingo Maria. We have been praying about their coming and are expecting great things from the Lord. We will have two more groups coming down in July. Pray that everyone will be safe and healthy and that give us a harvest of souls for their labors.

The twins, Kathy and Carol, are doing great. They get sweeter (and bigger) everyday. The Lord has really changed our lifestyle since we began taking care of these two little ones. Please remember my wife, Anita, in your prayers as she is the one with most of the responsibility for the babies. It is very tiring but she loves it!

Our daughter, Leah, and her husband, John, were down for two weeks during May. We really enjoyed having the time with them and getting to know our son-in-law better. We are rejoicing with them because they just bought their first house are they are so excited. As to our son, Joshua, and his wife, Cheri, they are expecting their first child the end of June. Please remember them in your prayers that the delivery will go well and that the baby will be strong and healthy. Thank you. Remember us in your prayers as we come to mind. We love and appreciate all of for your friendship, love, prayers and support. Until next month.

Serving Jesus in Peru,

Sheridan and Anita Stanton
