I've been here for 6 days now, and I'm adjusting more each day. The people here are warm, friendly and welcoming, just as I remembered them. I have already gotten to see some old friends, and meet several new ones! I've gotten to do several run things: - Wednesday I went to the zoologíco with the Frerichs' (fam I stayed with last time in Perú) and two other families.
- Saturday afternoon I went with the school director's family to Nelsa's (a secretary at the school) house to eat Aji de gallina, my favorite Peruvian dish!- Sunday I went with the Frerichs' family to a church plant at the beach. Steve gave a powerful sermon, and Praise God, three women raised their hands for salvation! Then we spent the day at the beach... some of the biggest olas (waves) I've ever seen!
- Last but not least, I found out I will be teaching 5th grade, all subjects except math. I'm excited to see my classroom tomorrow and start preparing!
Pray for:
- Strength and comfort from God
- Wisdom & Creativity as I prepare for my fifth graders!
- Safe travels for my roommate Kari as she arrives tomorrow :)
thanks for your prayers!
