Day One - Getting Here

The team met at Parkway on Monday (April 9) to double check our luggage weight and most importantly, to pray. While there, we got a better team picture:

God blessed us with a very easy day of travel. All of our flights were on time, all of our seats were together, and other than the opportunity to watch a fantastic lightning storm below us somewhere over Ecuador, everything was smooth and uneventful. We checked into our hotel in Lima around 1:30 a.m. local time, so 2:30 a.m. to our bodies. Needless to say, we were zonked out, so straight to bed we went!  I happen to think that we looked pretty peppy on the bus ride from the airport, though!











                                                             Well - maybe not.... :)


Today we will go to the grocery store for supplies (WONG!!) and then head up the mountain to Canta. Pray for traveling mercies - not everyone on the trip loves curvy roads and thousand foot drop-offs. Keep praying for health - a couple of us are suffering from remnants of Virginia allergies, and I have had a sore throat/low grade fever since we left. We don't want these things to get in the way of reaching others, so pray that it all clears up.

The rest of our day is pretty flexible. We have hopes that the baptism we were told about will take place this afternoon. Pray for those new believers - that we might be an encouragement to them in some way while we are here!

Vamos a ir a la montaña!!! (Let's go up the mountain!!)
