There is a team of missionaries (5 couples-all w/young kids, and one single guy) here from Texas, studying Spanish like us, and they are also going to Lima,...

rainy days & rainbows
Today has been a sad day. We sent off our first visitor this morning and we have all been in a funk all day. Jason’s sister Andrea came to visit us this past weekend, and we had such a wonderful time with her. We did a little souvenir shopping, jumped with the waves...
