We arrived safe and well yesterday morning at our accommodation at 3am and all 12 suitcases with us. For this we are truly thankful. Yesterday morning after breakfast we had a service of Holy Communion and then sorted the extra suitcases that we brought with us. Again I am so overwhelmed by the generosity of all the people who have supported us in this mission trip. Just before lunch we went for a short walk to try and catch our bearings. For the first three nights of this trip we are staying in a small convent in the Miraflores area of Lima. On Monday we will move to the convent we used before.
Yesterday afternoon Anderson came to pick us up and took us to a Mission Church in the San Juan Miraflores region of Lima. We were introduced to Rev. Rueben and his wife. The have been Pastoring this congregation for the past 1 and half years. His music group was also there and they led us in a time of worship - all in Spanish of course.
It was 7:30pm by the time we got back to the Convent for our evening meal. The hosts introduced the team to a Latin American Pie called Impanada. The Nuns found it quite amusing that we all (except Heather) didn't like the olives in it.
To say we were all tired was an understatement so it was early to bed with lights out by 9pm.
This morning Anderson is collecting us at 8am. I am preaching in San Pedro Church at the 9am Service.
Please continue to pray for us as we continue on this wonderful journey.
