Felix Passed! Lima, Here He Comes.

Earlier today, Sunday, March 8, Felix took the entrance exam and endured an interview for the Adventist university (La Universidad Peruana UniĆ³n) and passed them both. It was exciting news for all of us. Felix wanted us to relay the following message to you. It has been translated into English.


"Well, I would like to thank, firstly, the people who have supported me, my family, and especially you guys, who have put so much faith in me to be able to make something of myself in life. Also, because you have been there supporting me studying to be able to pass this test. And thanks to you guys, and the support of Papa Dios (My father, God), I have passed. Thank you very much. I will never get tired of thanking you guys. Thank you very much!"

Here is a photo of Felix (far right in brown shirt) with his family. His father was unable to be in the photo, however, he is extremely proud of his son´s accomplishment - almost to the point of tears.


We are now giving this entire thing to God. We are purchasing him a plane ticket to leave tomorrow, Monday, March 9, in the afternoon to Lima. School starts tomorrow as well, so he is very rushed. Right now we need to raise $3,000, which is $1,000 more than we expected. The information sheet where we received our previous figure was for a different major and included some scholarships which Felix is unable to receive.
