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.

To make it eaiser for Kelly to memorize...

Happy Easter everyone!

I have been really busy with work lately...a good thing, because I feel like I am actually accomplishing something when I am busy. We are hosting a huge group of high schoolers from Michigan(I know M*CH*G*N!) But, their leader is an Ohio Stae fan, so I suppose its going to be ok. I can't take to much rivalry after our second national championship loss this year;) A part of the trip is a joint health festival with young people from La Oroya and Huancayo. La Oroya is one of the top ten most contaminated cities in the world, due to the Doe Run smelting plant. Included in the festival is a mural project with the theme Together we can change and dream how we want our Oroya. I am very excited for the chance to lead this group in such a powerful message. Please pray for all of us as this trip proceeds and especially the days we spend in La Oroya April 9-11.

ps. to those of you Westminster-ites, pay special attention to the new stoles on Sunday, made by our Bridge of Hope artisans!
