Back in Lima

We be back in Lima now. Lima is actually the whole province, and we're in Miraflores, a very nice and safe part of town. I went to the beach today, the first time ever touching the Pacific (woohoo). The beach is really awesome because it's one of those places where the beach is about 100 to 150 feet below the mainland, with a very pretty vine-covered valley or cliff leading down. Almost all of the summer mission teams have left already. Most teams are going to certain villages to stay the whole summer in one spot. The team I'm on is staying in Lima for this next week to practice our drama and stuffs. We don't know where exactly we're going yet, but word is that we'll visit about 10 diff villages this summer. Sweet! We will be in the mountains a lot, which is dandy. I've added a link to Brian, the team photographer, 's blog. He'll be uploading pics. I don't really have an easy way to do that. So, we be staying in a hostel again tonight, which this one is really quite nice. The showers at the camp we're icy, but these are warm. We're going to church tomorrow, and then we get to just hang out in Lima the rest of the day. Lima is a pretty cool place, much more modern than one might think. Well, I'm about to go up and talk with Solomon. He's gonna help me with Spanish and I'm gonna help him with Engrish. Buenas nches. Amor a todos. Gracias por sus oras.

It sure was good to hear your voice last night. I know it is a pain to call, so I do appreciate it. Don't go to too much trouble to call. We have faith that you are doing well. It sounds like things are going well for y'all. I hope this week is fun as you plan your creative arts ministry. Time to go eat grilled pork roast.....we'll eat a piece for you! Love you sweetie, Mama

John my dearest,

Oh how I love thee. I miss seeing thy shining face. Don't get killed by any of them Peruvians.


Love,
