0 Our team had the opportunity to meet and visit with many other missionaries this morning from all over and everyone got prayed for by someone else. It was a cool experience and I'm grateful for it.0 "Andrew Newman shared his testimony- it was nothing flashy, but honest and transparent (as God wants us to be).
0 "Liliana is doing very well with her English and is teaching us girls more and more Spanish.
0 "Physically, I am very well today- we had a good sleep last night, Thank you Lord.
0 "We also did 'The Amazing Race' Christian style when Tina (the host) sent us in teams on a hunt to go around Arequipa in a Taxi (run by a Christian Taxi company) and make various stops and complete simple tasks..." We did this for 2 reasons: to see the city and also to practice our Spanish and bartering skills. "She was nice though. She split us up so that each group had at least one person who could speak Spanish fluently. My group was Sari, Tanya and
Ann Dargatz. We had lots of fun. Tanya got her shoes shined by a boy, I got a 'chullo' (chew-yo) hat, Sari got to send a postcard home, and we fed pigeons bird seed and all went up the steps to the top of the observation tower." (Our assignment here was to count how many steps there were to the top and we counted 103.) It went by fast and we ran out of time to feed the llama! :(
0 "Then we all had lunch at a restaurant and had..." something like strombolies. "The Triangles (in Spanish) had ham, cheese and chicken in them and I liked them the best! And we had a Spanish cola that looked and tasted reminiscent of cream soda."

"We are in the old-school yellow bus again on our way down to the valley. The scenery is like nothing I've ever seen and at some points, rock cliffs come right up to the edge of the road and you wonder if any will fall down because they don't look very sturdy. All you can see for miles and miles is rocks and sand and it is very hilly so it goes on for layers and layers deep.
"Now that we are at the camp it feels nice to be in one spot for a while. I can actually unpack and not have to repack tomorrow. I am very happy to be here and I know its going to be a great week and God's gonna touch hearts and lives. I am looking forward to the VBS feel better organized because we met tonight to go over things.
" 'God, it's all about you and I want to honour you. Help me not to be anxious or afraid but just to trust.'
"As I was writting this, a beatle bug thing came crawling out of one of the holes (in my journal's binding) and I freaked out a little. 'How long has that been there?!' and thinking 'I wonder if there's more!' As I search wide-eyed for any signs... It wouldn't bother me so much but I'm lying on my bed right now. With a flashlight because the other gilrs are asleep I think by now. I should go too. Tell you about tomorrow, tomorrow! Buenas Noches!"

Hey, nice pic! Was that there before? Yeah the pics did, but it was worth it, wasn't it?! The llama was friendly, yes, but the beatle...
I like that pic better! Keep that one! Cutie! And yes, I admit, I do need one too. Someday. For now, you'll just have to imagine what I look like at the exact moment I write this. Not hard.
I love you!
