Peru at last!

After taking off from ft. lauderdale airpost i had a 5 hour flight to get to Lima. On the flight i sat next to a man named jorge who gave me a lot of good tips on what to do when i got to peru. Once we landed i made it fairly easy through customs and found jenny the project leader outside of the gates. We had to put my luggage in storage and then take a bus two hours to dr. matthews mom´s house. It was quite an experience to get off the plane and then get packed into a little bus with about 20 other people! In the morning we made the 2 hour bus ride back to the airport were we met up with Mr. and Mrs. Neish who were flying with us to Pulcallpa. The flight to Pulcallpa lasted about 1 hour. We got to fly over the andes and then we landed in the jungle were pulcallpa is located. Once we got off the plane we got picked up and driven around pulcallpa. Later that day we went to our new home at Km. 38 which is exactly 38 km. from pulcallpa. The house we live in is very rustic but we have running water and a bathroom and shower. This week we have been having meetings about what we will be doing as well as spanish lessons and cultural experiences. One of the cool things that i got to do was drive the project truck through the traffic of pulcallpa which needless to say is insane. If there are any rules I sure haven´t seen them in action. Lanes are disregarded and people watch out for their bumper and knowbody elses. A typical day in my life goes about like this. At about 6 am the sun rises which helps to wake me up in the morning. I usually get up, have my worship and then do some of the chores around the house such as sweeping or letting out the sheep. After chores comes breakfast prep which can take up to an hour. After breakfast we have worship as a team and go over the activities for the day. Usually we have a spanish lesson in the morning and project orientation meetings. In the afternoon we sometimes go shopping for food or work at the project. Once this week we went swimming and I have attempted to play Futbol without any luck so far. In a couple of weeks we go on our fist clinic which should be quite an adventure. Thanks for all the prayers from everyone. I will continue to keep you up to date as the weeks go by. I would especially appreciate it if you would pray for the project as it is going through lots of growing and changing! Keep in touch.
