What Difference Can A Year Make?

I am in Lima, Peru this year as a Young Adult Volunteer with the Presbyterian Church USA. I am working with the office of the Joining Hands Network of Peru and the church Luz y Vida. Here you will find stories and thoughts of my stuggles and triumphs as I learn Spainsh, learn to become one with the cultura peruana, and hopefully find some direction in my life.

Some Visuals


















I'm not sure how to get the pictures in a specific order, so this is a mix and match mas o menos... The Peru YAVs: Sutton, me, Jamie, Jimmy, Jason, Emily and David. Here we are singing, which we were asked to do during orientation several times, we've come up with a set list that includes Lord I Lift Your Name on High, Sancuary, Kumbaya, Open the Eyes of My Heart, and Nun ya da.
Ruth and I at lunch on the last day of orientation. We went to a buffet and ate big's blood. I didn't know what it was until afterwards. It was kind of gross when I was eating it, and even worse after I knew what it was! But here I also tried arroz con leche for dessert, which was fabulous.
The landscape is the view out of my window on a good day. Generally the air is quite smogy and sometimes you can't even see it, but for a hazy outline.

Aparently, I was mistaken about the whole workshop thing (something that happens more often than I would like when I recieve instructions in another language). I don't have to lead these, only help out with them. Wahooo! Big weight lifted there. Today in the office I am working on an electronic newsletter...wahoo... something I know how to do, finally!
