Becoming at home

Another beautiful day in Lima Peru. We woke up refreshed and ready for another wonderful day.
Last night, our team gathered with the church family and some others and we sang songs of worship. They gave us the words in Spanish and we tried to follow along and laughed when we couldn’t get the words out. We sang each song in Spanish and then they gave us the opportunity to sing it in English and they loved it. We clapped, sang, and enjoyed the welcome feeling we felt when we were with them. It was amazing and its so awesome how much they welcome us and put effort in making us feel at home. The pastor and his wife gave us permission to call them mama and papa!! How can you feel more at home then that?!
We are getting used to something’s around here like cold showers ( besides this morning when the water wasn’t working in the showers ), the sun, and trying to live with 5 girls in a small room where we have to live out of our suitcases. But besides that… I think we are getting hooked to living in Peru!!
Day 2 in Peru is half over and I can honestly say that we haven’t done much. We are so grateful for the fact that this first week… we are allowed to chill and get the hang of things. Next week we are getting thrown into the schedule. We are diving head first into it!! With God by our side!!
