PERU!!!

I'M IN PERU!!

Kari and I left our houses around 7:30am Wednesday morning to embark on another journey...to PERU!! After a layover in Bogota, Colombia, we made it to Lima, Peru around 7:35pm. A family, who is originally from Trujillo (the city we'll be spending most of our time in Northern Peru), but is currently living in Lima due to work, was there to great us. They took us out to dinner and then we spent the night at their house. Thursday morning they took us on a mini tour of Lima. We toured a Catholic church and catacombs (my very first look at catacombs). We had a great time with this family. By the time we got on the bus last night (the 11:15pm bus), we felt as though we had known the family for a long time!

We took the late night bus to Trujillo, arriving this morning around 9:15am. Now we'll just be hanging around here until Sunday night when we take another night bus to Lima to pick up a team Monday afternoon (and return by bus to Trujillo - it's a good thing the buses are SUPER comfy!!).

Please be praying for Kari and I as we become familiar with Trujillo, the people, and how things are done here. As well as our translating as the accents are different and they use different than CR. Please also pray for the teams that will be passing through over the summer that we will be meeting, that God will us, them and the Peruvians to teach each other and challenging each other and impact the people around Peru.

Thank you for your continued support!
