Interim Report from Agustin Arellano
Autumn, 2005

Lima, Peru

I got here after a delay of 9 hours but got on the road soon. This time got readers from Chiclayo the northest to Ica, and some new leaders I got books but not enough as usual even though I carried 100 pounds this time.

Yesterday I got an interview on a TV channel to be aired this morning.  But some people at the board of directors in the tv channel are from the Opus Dei organization and decided not to show it.

We have today the last meeting and it was a great time to spend with these readers for the first time.   I feel we got good feedback and things are going faster here.

I Visited Mauricio Villacrez even though he is not interested now in the UB he will be back as soon as he finishes school.  I i! ntroduced him to outside readers.

Ivan Franco is the most enthusiastic leader now is a 20 ys old reader and he will start traveling to the neighbouring towns in march.  He is now preparing for the task. 

I have him in a wainting list for the trip to Bolivia since it would be good that he meet more readers from other countries and start doing work there too.

A friend from the hotel I got 3 years ago, Silvana Andrade, decided to start a group and also she will be helping any reader coming here in the future with a good 50% discount at the hotels and the connectuions to do the meetings.  She is a new mom got twins two months ago and was very interested in the 4th part to share with her family and friends.

I gave most of the readers at least a poster of Ken Raveills since I could bring only 20 without paying taxes, already paid for the weight since I have only 50 Lbs. allowed.

Will leave tonioght for Bolivia to attend their first national gathering will send you news from there.

Love
