I May Not Know the Way I Go: A Little Jaunt

Today has been great so far! I had breakfast with the lady from Peru again, and managed to understand a little. She was so patient with me :)

I also ate lunch with Beth, accross the street in her apartment. It was nice to spend some time with someone else, rather then being cooped up in my room all aftrnoon. We had a very American lunch, with turkey and cheese sandwiches and apples. We soaked the apples to clean them of course, because much of the fresh produce is grown in the ground... which is not so good for foreigners' stomachs (let's just say that the sewage irrigation system isn't so great).

After lunch, Tim and Liz, a couple from Australia, kindly invited me to come with them to visit the "Cristo de La Concordia", a huge statue of Jesus.

It was pretty amazing, because no only was the statue ginormous, but th views of the surrounding city and mountains was hermosa (beautiful).

We rode up and down the mountain in a gondola-type thing, and we were even able to climb up into the statue and see out through little holes in the walls. We climbed up and down I think 9 twirly staircases!

I think that was the highlight of my time so far, simply because I love mountains and the sky, and as you can see in the picture, both were amazing!

Tonight some of us were invited to another SIM family's house for dinner. Everyone is so kind and helpful! I guess it really is true that everyone functions as a family :) We do all belong to the family of God, after all!

Well, I'm off to try to get a bit of work done before dinner! Hope you all are doing well.
