One Week!

Well, tomorrow we will have officially been in Peru for a whole week, but it has gone by so fast!

Sunday mornings the AFCers who are serving abroad usually go to Villa Maria to have a short Bible lesson and to play with all of the sweet kids. We had the pleasure of going with them this week, and we had so much fun singing and playing games with them!

When we left Villa Maria, we rushed over to the grocery store to pick up some last minute things for the big party. The party turned out to be a huge hit! There were over 100 people there. For entertainment, there was a dance competition, a soccer game, and some bounce houses for the kids.

After the party, we all went to Pardo's, a restaurant chain here in Peru, where we had some of the most delicious chicken! It was Alicyn's birthday, and everyone got the waitors to come sing happy birthday to her while she wore an embarrassing birthday crown.

This morning we were supposed to take a bus tour of the city, but it drove away as we were walking up to it... haha we rescheduled for tomorrow morning. Since we didn't have anything else to do, we went shopping at the Inca market.
Most of the gang bought alpaca sweaters at the market. Kyle G. and Alicyn are sporting theirs here.

After the market, we ate lunch at La Lucha, a place known for sandwiches and shakes. The restaurant was crowded, so we went across the street to Parque Kennedy, named after the former U.S. president. This park was full of cats that are fed by a nearby church.

Right before we left the park, we ran into our new friend John that we met at the party yesterday. Most of the group went out to a coffee shop to hang out with him.

We're getting ready to have a team devotional with the serve abroaders, so there will be more to come later.
