Hola de Peru!!! (Hello from peru!)
i am here and i am safe! so far my experiences have been awesome. our theme verse for our mission is...
"The things which you have heard from me in the presence of many witness, entrust these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also." 2 timothy 2:2
EXQUSITE!!! so this is what we will be doing while we are in peru...
1) tomorrow we will be traveling to a village called canta to begin some of our on the site training. we will be there for a week.
2) we will be coming back to lima to go and get things we are going to need for the next four weeks from a store called wong. its perus walmart. but cooler because it is peruvian.
3) then each of us will get broken up into teams and sent off to 4 different villages. we will be there for four weeks.
4) we come back and all of us are going to the jungle for a week where, our trusty missionaries have informed us, the percentage of people getting sick is a mere 75%. nice!
then we will go shopping and come home!!
Yesterday we went down to the beach which is gorgoeous btw and we ate at a mall that is built inside a mountain!!! and we went cosmic bowling. (pictures will come later!) we ate dinner at a resturant called padros and this guy ( no not a random guy.. he is on our team) ordered this beef dish and was asking all of us to try it... well we did. do you know what is was??? cow heart. yeah i did say cow heart!!! and it wasn´t bad. i will cook it for you all!!
oh we also got woken up by an earthquake this morning!!! but yeah other than that it has been good.
so far God has shown me that He can do anything and He doesn´t need us to do it. But he calls us anyway because He wants us. and loves us.
pray for us and our team! they are awesome!! i promise i will get into some more meaty stuff later but now i have to go. i love you guys!! and i miss you like crazy!!
food for thought: When a bunch of americans to go bowling in Peru, expect to be watched by the peruvians. literally...
love love and double love with door knobs!!!

proud. expecting great things. prayful. excited. all words to describe how i feel in terms of what you are doing and who you have become. Peru seems to be amazing for you so far and it is just the beginning of your journey
Good to hear that you and the others from SC have arrived there safely. Terrific summary of the mission you guys will be on. Sounds like a terrific layout, even the trip to the jungle. Great stuff about the cow heart - summer missions is all about new stuff!! As you can, keep the blog updated. It helps us stay connected and prayerful. Know the SCBCM office is praying for you and the others. Give our best to them and tell Meredith to get her blog created!
so good to hear that you are doing well! I am excited to hear more and more stories through the next weeks about how God is using you, teaching you, and loving through you! Continue to write and fill us all in!
