Week 1 Update

Que Pasa!

As you might have guessed, Peru is awesome! We've been working at the home and the Cuna for 4 days now. The first day we started out refinishing a sandbox and los columnos (swingset) at the children's home. It was pretty easy work to start out with, as time passed, we were given harder work (wahoo!). Yesterday and today, we worked at the Cuna (the day care center in Manchay). We leveled out a slab of land and compacted it in order to prepare it for cement.

Tuesday, we had the opportunity to lead the children's devotional time. We did a skit on the Good Samaritan, and it was truly a grand performance. Sadly, the film crew we payed to record it had last minute plans and could not make it. This magnificent piece of artistic talent is now only recorded in the minds of the immetiate viewers...... Haha, We basically made idiots out of ourselves trying to act out the Good Samaritan skit in front of the kids. It was fun, and i think they liked it! Dave did had some great spanish lines taking the role of "The Beaten Jew," like "Ayudame!" and "Ouch".

We finally got some roommates! A team of 8 Canadians came down from Cedarcreek Chapel and arrived at 2 in the morning at our apartment.......with no key. After pounding on the door and screaming our names for a solid 10 minutes, Dave woke up and went to the door. I, being a lazy and confused, chose to ignore it and went back to sleep. Good times in Peru.

Don't worry, we have managed to have a lot of fun here amidst all the work. We had the privilege of seeing the amazing new Indiana Jones film, and wow, I think I have a new favorite movie...... Seriously, it was pretty much basura (garbage). Oh well, fun times anyway.

Tonight, we played pool with Leo, Tyler, and Neilton. Leo, the guy all the way to the left in the picture, is actually amazing at pool. He schooled us all. Oh well!

Hasta Luego!
