Today we hung out with some of our Peruvian friends and I managed to get one of their cameras to put pictures on my computer. I realized just how many things I haven't posted on here because I didn't have pictures. I need to get more pictures, but for now these will do!
 |
| The Peruvians threw us a welcoming party with lots of food and fun |
 |
First time practicing my Spanish in Peru. It
looks like I'm doing so with myself, but I promise
there's a Peruvian next to me! |
 |
| We don't fit in the buses |
 |
| Peruvians, however, have no problem! |
 |
| We had a big party for "Kids' Day" out in Villa Maria |
 |
| We won the wrapping contest - WHOOP! |
 |
| Not sure what happened here... |
 |
We had our first "Noche de Jovenes", which is just a night for the kids our age
(anywhere from like 18-35) to come hang out and eat, play games, talk, etc. |
 |
Terrible picture, BUT...before Mark Clancy went back to the States for his furlough, we went to a few Bible
studies at his house on Monday nights |
 |
| We had our monthly "Mano de Dios" ("Hand of God") |
 |
We collected clothes and toys for a few weeks and then "sold" them, per bag, for something like 30 cents,
sometimes less if the family did not have the money |
 |
| And everyone from "Aliento de Vida" ("Breath of Life" - the name of our community of believers/our church body) helped out |
 |
| Most of the group at the end of the day! |
 |
| Lyndsay, the Yoakums, and myself enjoyed a sunny day in a nearby town |
 |
| This is Fide & Alvaro during our second "Noche de Jovenes" at a Chifa Restaurant (Chinese Peruvian food) |
 |
We moved our usual Sunday activities with the kids in Villa Maria outside, as the location we usually use
was unavailable because of a community party (most likely involving alcohol) that went on the night before |
 |
| We became adventurous and tried cow heart with our friends Fide and Alvaro |
 |
| We still go to Villa Maria every Sunday to sing, have fun, and learn about Jesus |
 |
| We had a roomie sleepover since Heather is in the U.S. right now |
 |
Today was a holiday in Peru so we went to hang out with our friends Lastenia & Carla at a church in an
area of Lima called "Chorillos" |
 |
| That brown thing in the spoon is part of a cow lung |
 |
| So now we have added "pulmón de vaca" to strange foods we have eaten |
 |
| We played soccer |
 |
And had some chicha (which really isn't that great, but Peruvians love it!) before heading over to the
church to give it a facelift |
