¡Estoy aquí!

After what seemed like the longest flight in the history of mankind, we finally arrived in Lima at 11:00 pm last night. For some reason, our bags made it to the plane that we missed, and so they were waiting for us in storage in Lima when we got to the airport, having arrived the day before. Weird. Mike Weaver and Wade Arthur picked us up from the airport, and took us to the hostel where we are staying till tomorrow. It was ok. I kinda got stuck in a cot in the corner of a closet-tpye room because we arrived so late, but I got moved to a real room today, so all is well. I am not exactly roughing it yet. Today, during lunch break, Wade, David, and I walked around downtown Lima and ate lunch at a little chicken place that was cheap and good. We are practicing our Spanish every chance we get. I found out that our team is going to a town called Lampa, near Lake Titicaca, with five small villages surrounding the town, and we are going to spend the summer traveling through these five villages and trying to start small-group Bible studies. We are also going to help teach new Christians how to lead other people to God. It is a huge responsibility, and we have no supervisor or anything like that. We also have no translater. Wade and I are it. David has next to no Spanish, but he is picking up words and phrases pretty quickly. Tonight we are going to the Weavers house to have dinner, and then tomorrow morning, we are flying to Juliaca, which is about a 30 minute bus ride from Lampa.
I am going to try to put some pictures on here, if I can figure it out. I brought a USB cable for my digital camera, but I am not sure if that will be enough. I will try my best though. I am loving Peru so far, and I am sure I have many crazy adventures during my two months here. Stay tuned...
