Hi all! Well, I just couldn’t let things go for more than a week without updates so here goes. I have really been enjoying several aspects of my time in Peru so far. The food, for one, is absolutely amazing. Between Lomo Saltado, Ceviche, Aroz con Pollo, and Masamora Morado I am staying plenty full (and that’s just the beginning of the list ). Another enjoyable part of my time in Peru has been involvement in my host family’s church. My siblings belong to celulas (basically small groups) and I have had the pleasure of going along w/ my younger brother, Samuel, to several meetings and outings with them. I even went to two birthday parties of members of the celula. They are extremely welcoming, and it’s been great to interact more with people in the church who are my age. The actual church is huge. Each sunday there are 7 services and all of them are packed out (I’m guessing 400 people each service?). The style of worship has been good for me tho. No hymns, but good praise music and if I’m lucky even a song or two that I know like Open the Eyes of My Heart. Then there’s usually a sermon, and while I can’t understand everything I usually at least get the main point. Anyway, It hasn’t been a tough transition in that respect which I really appreciate. Ok, I’ve gotta run, but happy Mother’s Day in advance mom!Catch you all later!
