Living in PERU!
 
Hey everybody! I'm in Peru right now. The family I'm living with is phenom, Aldo y Fridda, and Jasmin is 15, Emanuel is 10, and Benjamin is 7. They're great fun.

I'm struggling to communicate. I can converse a little, but I have to ask everyone to slow down and speak clearly. Please just pray that I will be able to do so.

I'm a little worried about what I will be doing. I dunno all of it yet, but right now the plan is to help out with a school 3 days a week. I will be helping to teach English, because, LOL, I am a native speaker. Guess the English language is good for something, no?

The weather is gorgeous and I positively love it. The traffic is NUTS! Pick the craziest US city, and multipy the traffic by a zillion! That's Lima. There are SOOOO many people. I love it, and freak out about it all at the same time.

THat's all I'm gonna write for now. Please just pray that I will be quick about learning the language, and that I will not get burnt out or homesick. Well, maybe a little homesick is ok, but not MUCH homesick. Haha. Also that I will be able to be a blessing to the people around me and that I can actually help instead of hindering. Thanks!

Dios te bendiga (God bless you), como Dios me ha bendigado (like he has blessed me)

(no idea how long it takes to get here, or how much it costs. But I'm sure I will love getting it!)

Alright - the countdown is 49 hours and 37 minutes till my flight leaves from Detroit

AH!

I'll be back on June 27th to be in my cousin's wedding on June 30. And then all you camp people who are freaking out because you won't see me...no worries. I'll be working at camp (hopefully counseling) the last 5 (?) weeks there. So starting July 9th, I'll be at camp.

 

AND THEN I MOVE INTO THE LEADERSHIP HOUSE on August...something. Like the 23rd I think.

My summer is so wonderful!

PS - I forgot to include 20 hours with my amazing and adorable boyfriend. Sorry. My bad

EVERYONE!!!

I am going to live in Peru for 2 months this summer! Just me going down there! It's so exciting!!!

I decided to look into it 2.5 weeks ago

I decided to go 1.5 weeks ago

I bought my tickets 1 week ago

I get my passport 1 week from now

I fly out 3 weeks from now!!!!

God is SOOO amazing, Every single thing associated with this trip has worked out - despite my stressing otherwise.

I'm going down there to learn Spanish primarily, but in order to do so, it's essentially a missions trip! I will be helping with a church, volunteering at an orphanage, working in a pregnancy care center, helping with a school, and going along on a mobile medical clinic. There are soooo many different things to do down there...

 

AND I AM SOOOOO SCARED! It will be amazing - but what if my Spanish isn't good enough? What if I am a burden to the people around me? What if my passport doesn't come? What if...the plane crashes?

 

If you could pray for me, as I prepare for this trip, both mentally, spiritually, emotionally, and in reviewing my Spanish, that would be great!!! Thanks so much.

For all you camp people who are freaking out because I will not be counseling this summer, I will be working the last 5 weeks of camp. It'll be great!!!

Does anyone wanna go to Chicago with me next Thursday? I think we're leaving around 2 pm, and getting back Friday around 2. Let me know...

 

 

To God be the glory, great things he has done!!!!
