Mission Peru

Today was an awesome day; we did so many different things.

We toured through the Museo San Francisco. Throughout the tour we saw magnificent ceilings, beautiful tiled walls, huge, old paintings and a catacomb filled with bones.

For lunch, many tried Peruvian dishes such as: papa con crema de pimientos and aji de gallina con arroz. The second dish was spicy and most of us who tried it loved it.

The moment that stood out the most today was when we were trekking up a muddy mountainside in Pamplona. Seeing the homes of the people who lived there, their lives and the lives of their children, smiling, laughing, and running up and down the sides of the mountain without thinking twice. Meanwhile we were the ones walking very slowly, watching our every step, with arms out trying not to slip and fall. At the church in Pamplona, the locals were so happy to come and worship the Lord. It was very evident how much they loved the Lord. It was so exciting to see how energetic they are.   

Overall it was a very fun, educational and inspiring day. I can’t wait to see what the Lord has to show us and teach us tomorrow and in the days to come.
