Chao a mi Peru... (para ahora)

I am currently in Lima, finishing up my summer in Peru. Although my time in Trujillo flew by, I know that what God taught me while I was there has changed me in ways I probably have not even realized yet. My last week in Trujillo was restful and gave me a chance to say goodbye to the people that had become important in my life over the summer. I am thankful for my time in Trujillo and I trust that God used me for his purposes, despite my weaknesses and failures. I will be in Lima until Wednesday morning spending some time with my very good friend Sydney and catching up on some much needed r&r. I am excited about getting a chance to process all that God has taught me this summer. I will continue my updates until I return back to the States.

One afternoon I went to the oldest cemetary in Trujillo and took pictures of the flowers and architecture there. These are some pictures from that afternoon.
I love daisies and so does my mom. They are such friendly flowers.

This is a picture of me, Sydney, Michelle, and the new interns: (L to R) Katie Gaylor (who is crazy and hilarious), Amanda (sweet girl), and Heather ( a very good friend from back home whom I already miss).
This is a picture of the gang at Roky's my last night in Trujillo. :( It was fun.

Last weeks in trujillo

During my last week in Trujillo, I was finished teaching my classes so I had a chance to relax and get some good fellowship time before I left for Lima last night. This is a picture of some of the flowers I saw at the market during one of my days off.
These are the flowers I selected for my room. They smelled soo goooood. I put them beside my bed and could smell them as soon as I woke up every morning.
This is my friend Heather Campbell. She just graduated from Covenant and will be in Trujillo teaching at SALI for the next year. We went out with Sydney and some of our favorite Peruvians for one last despedida. Heather ordered a piece of lemon pie and this is what she got---una montana de limon! This was by far the tallest piece of pie I have ever seen in my life.
This is Ludwig and Oscar. Ludwig is super sweet and sooooo much fun. They are both fun friends and I am thankful I got to spend time with them during my time in Trujillo. I will miss them.
