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.

Maybe Hope, Hope Unknown...

Here are some pictures from March and April... you should look at them and make comments;)
I am amazed at how rapidly these past 8 months, since I got on the airplane to Chicago, have gone. I can remember so clearly the happy dance Kelly and I did in the airport after weighing my suitcases and both were under 50 pounds(just bairly). I have so many new memories, that make that dance seem like a lifetime ago. I am missing your faces now, but I only have about 3 months left. I hope to experience fully each moment here and live out these steps on my path with hope in the goodness of people, knowing that together change is possible.
I love and miss you my friends.

You don't mind if we sit a while, Do you?

WHO THE H*LL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE??? (picture flailing arms now)

It does seem like you've been gone for 8 months... It's almost over, yay for me, sad for you :)

You have had all of these wonderful new experiencies in this "lifetime" since the airport dance. I feel like I have been standing still... maybe that's kind of like I am feeling right now about my life. What have I really been doing with it? Hmmmmmm.....
