On Saturday, our whole team came over for lunch (the big meal here), our first time meeting many of them. Jeremy Ross is missing from this picture.
Sunday we got to worship at the church in Santa Anita, an impoverished district east of the city center. It was a beautiful time, though I only understood parts of the sermon.
That evening we went to a kids' event at a park in Salamanca - full of songs, games, and bible lessons. Great fun!
Today, a trip to the embassy and an afternoon spent with Jeremy, Amanda, Kayla and Bella Ross, who are on our team and just finished language school. They are so sweet and gave us great tips on life in Arequipa. Here's Noah with the two girls, Kayla and Bella.
Tomorrow at 2:30 we fly to Arequipa! We don't know what the internet situation will be, so we may not be able to post for a little while. The Berrys have been such gracious hosts, and we will miss the team over the next several months, but we are SO excited to dig in to Spanish study. Much love to our family and friends back home. Ciao!

This is the McCann's, the Purdy's friends in Charlotte going to Honduras with MTW. We heard you guys made it to Peru, congrats. Tell Andrew Eiser we said hey if you see him again, we are his supporters.
We'll check back later to keep with our S. American missionary friends.
God bless.
