En Peru

We are in Peru! We felt very welcomed at the airport. 8 people came to pick us up, including Brian & Betty´s older kids, Marco and Ana. We have been spending this week catching up on some sleep and getting acclimated to things. Dan and Kathy are with us and were a huge help in the airport with all the bags. Dan got sick on Thursday night and is starting to feel better this morning. Sometimes my spanish is really good, and then all of a sudden I won´t be able to understand a thing! Poco a poco, so they say (little by little). We are trying to find an apartment. We looked at one place on the 4th floor along the main highway. It looked really nice and clean, but there was nothing in the kitchen. No stove, refrigerator (which we knew would happen), but also there was no cabinets, no counter, and no sink. There was nothing but walls! So, we are praying to find another place in the paper on Sunday. Ultimately, we will go where the Lord leads us, no matter what the place is like. The weather is cold. It´s winter here. It´s not too terribly cold, you just get a chill that just won´t go away. We´ve gotten some chances to drive around and see some of the city. Yesterday we took a drive out to Punta Hermosa. There are some really awesome waves there with some guys surfing. Brian said the waves are much bigger in the summer (your winter). I got some pretty cool pictures. I´ll get some up when I can. The kids are doing good. They are eating the food well. They just love Brian and Betty´s kids. We can hardly pull them away at times! It will be good to get settled in an apartment and get a routine going again, with homeschool and that sort of thing. Brian and Betty have been wonderful. Betty, Alicia, and Abuela have been cooking for us. They are helping us with finding an apartment. They are an encouragement to us. Thank you for all your support and prayers.
