#Spanglish

yesterday morning, our team lead an English camp at a school in huancayo. in latin america, kids are english -educated in school at an early age. this was no different. each of our four small groups rotated between four age ranges. the rotations covered vocab words, basic songs, games, and teachings.

in the afternoon, we divided in two groups. one went to a nearby park and read books to children. my group went to a local university and hung out with some awesome college age people! we sang, danced, and shared life with them.

yesterday evening, our wesley team was privileged to have the opportunity to discuss in-depth the history of peru. we also talked about the backgrounds of the missionaries we work with. the family we work with the most are the Drums! Around our parent´s age, they moved to Peru from Houston three years ago. They came out of the workplace to follow their calling for a new season. it is so good to be here, to encourage and hang out with missionaries, who are far from home. i am sure they love having gringos here as a support network, while we get to partner in what they are doing here! (gringos: north americans)

today has been splendid. this morning, we returned to the english camp. i am pretty sure that my small group in particular riles up the kids the most- so much noise! this afternoon has been the best part of the trip thus far, as we visited a local orphanage. i really feel like the majority of the team had a ballin time with the kids that live there. they were so hungry for new friendships. we enjoyed letting them taking pictures with our cameras, while looking at my pictures on the LCD from georgia. again, we read books together, and played some futbol.

it is our free time- six in the evening here. yet, it is almost dark outside! november in peru!

the sun is very strong. we are definitely feeling the effects of living at 11,500 feet. and our team is amazing. everyone has the best attitude, and is naturally gifted at getting along with others. we love each other so much. the missionaries have opened up their home to us- it is definitely a gringo bubble in downtown huancayo, peru!

five girls on the team speak fluent spanish, while the rest of us are picking up quickly. #funfunfun
