Mission Peru

              Wow has Peru ever been an adventure so far! Only three days here and I already feel at home aha! I miss all my family and friends back in Tbay (woot woot). The scenery here is beautiful, the sand not so much...you’d be surprised the places it finds itself haha. The people here are awesome, they never stop laughing and smiling. I wanted to share one thing with you guys so far in my journey, if there was one thing I would bring back home right now, it would be love. Love in the sense that not everything is perfect, and it doesn’t have to be. God has shown me through the light in the kid’s eyes, the genuine good morning “Buenos Dias” from the Peruvians, the impact of teamwork and dedication, can bring you joy even when you least expect it. Ultimately, God has shown me that when you stop looking for perfection, that’s when you start living. I can also see that God has a sense of humour...got pooped on by a bird at the end of the day yesterday...good times. Adios!
