south america

hey everybody :) so I am now living in lima, peru with a homestay family and 8 other girls from the US, Norway and Canada. I spent a couple weeks in Bogota, Colombia, and it was great to be able to see the people that I had met on the Kaleo missions trip and to feel still feel so connected to them and to see how they continue to reach so many people through their ministry.

Here in Lima I have just started studying at the university this past week and it's been a bit of a rollercoaster so far. It's definitely not what I'm used to. Sometimes the prof won't show up at all, sometimes the class will start a half hour late, and once my class was cancelled for the term but no one mentioned it. I guess if you could pray that I'd have patience and a lot of energy to pay attention to 3 hr classes in spanish. Two of my classes are related to kids, one is about children's literature and the other about teaching kids through games. I'm really excited about both of these, especially since I will get to work with the kids here in peru. please pray that God would guide me through these next 5 months here and that I would willingly go where he wants me and that I wouldn't be distracted by worldly things. I don't want my fears or insecurities to get in the way of God using me.

I love you all
