Dear Friends,

This Sunday, June 4, Peru will elect its new president in a runoff election. Peruvian presidents serve five year terms. The outcome of the election will be a pivotal point in the history of this country. I will not bore you with details of who the candidates are or what platforms they are running on. Suffice it to say this country needs you prayers!

The first of the month we took a few days and traveled to the southern city of Arequipa to visit the Reinhardts and see the twins, Kathy and Carol. It was such a joy to be able to see the girls again and to see what great parents Jason and Rebecca have proved to be. They love them so much and are doing a great job! We thank God for His great manifestation of His grace in putting the girls and the Reinhardts together.

Anita and I have been very busy in our offices this month trying to get materials ready for the next Institute class starting the 13th of June here in Huanuco. We’ve only seen two trust Christ as Savior during the month of May but a lot of spiritual growth and maturity have been evidenced by the Saints at the Acomayo mission and also here in Huanuco. Anita works hard at preparing lessons for the children in Acomayo and they respond with such enthusiasm and gratitude.

Next month I will be able to write with the outcome of the presidential elections here and also give a report of the Institute classes both here in Huanuco and in Iquitos. Until next month.

Serving Jesus in Peru,

Sheridan and Anita Stanton
