Shark Attack and Funky Chicken

Today was another bright and early start. For those of you reading this blog, I (Lindsay) am feeling a bit better today. Roonie is a bit under the weather too, but it is nothing to worry about. We are just getting adjusted to living in Peru...I stress, we are fine and are being well taken care of. We started the day by again heading over to Virgin de la Paz to continue work on our wall building. We laid the rest of the foundation and played with kids before heading over to the church in Las Brisas. We all pitched in to help scrub and paint and clean up the church for the upcoming inter-church worship this Sunday. It is a pretty big job, but we got to work inside most of the time, so we saved ourselves from more sunburns. After working on the church for a couple of hours, we headed home for lunch which was Shark. We all tried some, and enjoyed it. It tastes very much like any other white fish that we have. After lunch, we went back to the church for more painting and cleaning. We came home and all had showers before heading out for Patti...one of our missionaries...birthday supper. We went downtown in Chiclayo to a restaurant for chicken, which was also very good. After supper we had a little bit of time to look in some shops, and look at what street vendors were selling. We all took taxis home, where we had birthday cake for Patti. We had a team debrief and then the boys went to the church where they sleep, and the girls played a game of Blokus. Today was a good day, enough to do, but not too much as to get overwhelming. Please continue to pray for health for our team as we are all adjusting to life here in Peru, also pray for our projects at the church and in Virgin de la Paz, that we would complete them on time. Thank you so much for your prayers and support.

Hello team,

Linds - I think you have a calling as a travel writer!

While you are all in the heat, we have been making use of the skating rink. We met a guy there today who let his two husky dogs pull Sara across the ice!

It sounds like you are accomplishing alot and having interesting dining experiences.

God bless

Love Donna
