Praise God for a safe arrival in Trujillo, Peru! These past few days have been rather ethereal. All of the fellows (there are 7 of us) arrived in the Lima airport Wednesday night. Alleen met us at the airport and we spent the night there. My fellow expatriates are (left to right) Patrick, Tyler, Heidi, me, Lydia, Daniel and Seth. So far so good! None of us are sick although we have been somewhat adventuresome. Most of us have had salad which can be iffy depending on the restaurant. This is a jello/jamish type of fruit dessert. It was as interesting as it appears!

Yesterday we had orientation with Josh Eby our pastor and boss. Everything is quite overwhelming and leaves me feeling a little dumb and incompetent. However, from God's perspective both are true but I never realized it in quite the same way. :) There is much to learn not even mentioning the need to learn more Spanish. In that area I have been both surprised and fearful. I can speak but I am very slow to figure out how and what to say! God is teaching me to trust Him in all things. Now is the time!

I love you all and will post again soon!
