Dear Friends,

Well, Jason and Rebecca Reinhardt now have official legal custody of Kathy and Carol!  They are a Godly, young, Baptist missionary couple that fell in love with the girls right off.  Kathy and Carol took up with them right away also.  It has been hard for Anita and I to get used to not having them with us, but we know it is best for the girls.  We thank everyone for your prayers for us, the girls, and Jason and Rebecca.  The past six months have been an emotional roller coaster for us, but God is good and has shown HIS grace and wisdom in the fulfilling of HIS will.  Anita and I talk each week with the Reinhardts and the girls by web cam hookup through the computer.  Modern technology can be so great!  The Reinhardts have legal custody for two years and then the adoption process will start.  They spent five weeks with us here in Huanuco, and then we went with them to Arequipa to help get the babies settled in.  The girls have adjusted wonderfully and we know it is because so many have been praying for them.  Thank you and may God bless you each one.

Since being back in Huanuco I have preached in several of our works in the area.  We plan to start a new work when we get back from the States the first week of December.  Anita and I will be in the States for two months to visit our granddaughter, Caroline, in Tucson, Arizona and other family members in the States.  This is not furlough, but some much needed family time.  We will be with a few churches that happen to be close to where our family members live.  You can still reach us by e-mail during this time, but since we will be continually traveling, we will not have a constant phone number.

The works here are going well.  I am planning another Institute class for January.  Please keep us in your prayers. 

Until next month.

Sheridan and Anita Stanton

The twins, Kathy and Carol.
