June 15-16 Recap

Okay, not much to report.

Yesterday was school, I got to help out some, I graded some papers for the 1st and 2nd grade teachers.

Ironically enough, the papers I was grading for first grade were, writing pages-as in- I was grading how well the first graders did their cursive writing. :D

Then I did some pages for the second grade teacher.

Last night was the ladies Bible study, that ended up lasting till 11, and I fell asleep upstairs around 10. :)

Today was school, I gave a couple of tests to two first graders, then I just sort of wandered, took some pictures, then hung out in Rachel´s music class cuz no one needed anyhelp.

stupid swine flu. I could´ve been at the school for two weeks. Oh, well, God´s in control, so, I

don´t really mind that much. He knows what He´s doing better than I do :)

Went to the mall today, picked up some last minute things, and I got some Ice cream. :)

Just so you all know

Peruvians eat a LOT. Large portions.

Well, it probably isn´t as much as it seems, but it´s at lunch, and the rice is really, really filling.

Small breakfast, and a snack in the evening, but it´s they make up for the absense of food at dinnertime and breakfast at lunch.

Rachel and Ceci will probably make fun of me for that...

Well, I am all packed, just waiting, I fly out at 7.05 and get to STL at 5.15.

Long day.

But I´m happy I only have to flights.

Okay, Talk to you all later, Can´t believe my two weeks are up already.

Thanks for following :) I´ll do one more Peru update when I get home.

Thanks for the prayers.

Night.

June 14 Recap

Hey guys ! :)

Okay, first off, last night after I had already posted, we went over to Ceci´s parent´s house. Everyone (with the exeption of one person) who had been out that afternoon, plus Ceci´s parents were there.

We had yucca which had been boiled, then smashed like potatoes and then filled with cheese and fried. I can´t remember what it was called. We also had some fresh Guabana juice (some of the best juice I have ever had!) I also got to try just the fruit, it was so good!

I also tried some coffee, and my taste for that has not changed, it´s still nasty stuff :)

The yucca tasted like potato to me, it was okay.

I loved the juice!

After we had eaten, Ceci, Carolina and I started playing a game that we had played earlier in the afternoon.

You go in a circle naming animals, colors, countries, whatever you want really. Eventually Juan and Isabel joined in and then Rachel and Ceci´s dad. Caro ended up leaving halfway through. :)

It was a fun night.

Today was awesome to.

Went to Lacomar, a mall facing the ocean, it was pretty cool. Had a chicken sandwich and fries, a fried banana and Inca light (light is the word for diet).

The fried banana was fantastic. mmmmm :)

Then we went over to the market and bought souveniers. That was a lot of fun too :)
We headed over to the fountain park after that, it´s so cool! The water was in time with the music, and the colors were awesome! It was a lot of fun.

Alrighty, that´s all I´ve got for now, Rachel is at Ceci´s so I´m just hanging out.

Talk to ya later!

Hey guys!

Got up a little eariler today, talked with my sister, let the maid in, then went to school with Rachel.

I must say, crossing traffic is a little scary. I don´t like traffic in the states, so here...whoo! Crazy!

Went to Isa´s (Ceci´s sister) house for lunch, it was fantastic!

Got to talk to her a little bit, but Rachel had to translate for us.

Then went outside and played with Carolina and Mei Shing. That was way fun, love Caro!

Going to try to make it to Ticlio tomorrow, Rachel´s got her car back, and it seems like it will be able to handle the road!

Not much else going on. Just hanging out with Rachel tonight.

Have a good week guys!

Went to the grocery store and got stuff for lunch tomorrow.

June 10 Recap

Okay, Quarantine ended today! YAY!

Went to Rachel´s school and hung out in her classes. The school itself is a pretty cool building, with the hallways outside. It´s a neat area.

The third graders were so cute!

The fifth graders were a piece of work! :)

I don´t know if i could be a teacher or not.

After school, we went to the doctor with Ceci.

Then came home and had ice cream and cake, and hung out for a while.

Tomorrow is school, and I don´t know what else we´re doing this week. I´ll just have to wait and see.

Thanks for your prayers, and please keep praying!

Night all!

June 9 Recap

Hey everybody, what´s up?

Nothing much happened yesterday, stayed at home and read mostly.

Then Rachel had her Bible study, at which I also read, since I don´t speak spanish. So, I´ve made it through two books in about 3 days.

Today was kinda the same thing. I read, and watched and episode of Robin Hood online, then Rachel came home and she slept, and I read, and halfway watched another episode of Robin Hood.

Then we went to Ceci´s house, then to Jockey Plaza-a mall-and got cinamon rolls, yum, and leftovers for breakfast.

We nearly got into a fight with a taxi driver, but I wasn´t nervous, Ceci seemed to know what she was doing, even though I couldn´t understand everything that was said.

I did pick up that he was unhappy.

Wasn´t nervous though, I don´t know, I was just observing everything that happened and keeping my eye on the guy in the street, in case he decided he was on the taxi driver´s side.

Got to spend a couple of hours at Ceci´s house just listening to her and Rachel talk.

It was a Lot of fun!

my ´quarantine´ends tomorrow, and I can go to school.

Carolina, Ceci´s niece, has decided she likes me, and she picked me to sit next to her in the van :)

Alrighty, nothing else to say.

Night all!

June 6 Recap

Hello all!

Went to downtown Lima again today, went to ¨the nuns¨and ate lunch, it was very good. Then saw the Inquisition Museum and the Catacombs.

The lady giving the Catacombs tour was adorable, she ended about every other sentance with ¨Yes?¨way cute, her English was pretty good too. She seemed eccstatic to be giving tours.

Came home, then ran up to see Daniela, she seems to be doing pretty good, and seemed to enjoy ¨the Magicians Nephew¨I forgot how much I like the Chronicles of Narnia.

Came back home then walked to the grocery store to pick up a couple of things for a bbq tomorrow.

Then hung out with Rachel, watched TV, ate some oatmeal and a chocolate crossiant. yum.

I feel like I´ve been here forever-not a bad thing :)

Church tomorrow, then the BBQ-birthday party.

Alrighty, I am off, gotta clean up a bit, then going to bed.

Night all!
