PERU!!!!

Here, finally, are a selected few of the 500+ pictures I took in Peru!!!!



After running 2-hours late to the airport, dashing thru customs, and jogging up several flights of stairs since the escalators were moving slower then desired I made it to the gate and found my seat on the plane already exhausted and worn out, just after 7:15 am

Alas, the devontions on the plane ride home!

Yay! I'm supposed to get my pictures back today!

All week I've been going to a volley-ball clinic, and now I'm so sore I'm having to coax myself into moving from the computer to bed, all movement causes pain. But I have a decent chance at JV and nobody gets cut from the freshmen team so the pain has to be worth it. It would be nice to make Varsity and at my old school Varsity was all there was (it was really, really small), having a bit of resentment over the fact that I'm a freshmen so making Varsity is near impossible, unless I was some freak of nature and several inches taller (like half a foot taller...). My spike needs a lot of work for some reason?? I used to be able to just hit it over no problem and the coaches don't seem like the sympathetic type so I have to work on that before try-outs on Tuesday *gag*

Back From Peru!!

Unfortunatly all the pictres I took are on another computer at the moment so go look at them on facebook! I will put them up here soon though! We were on a mission trip to reach the people of Callao, Lima and were successful in bringing over 3000 people to Christ!! I was on the construction team which did not get to work on it's planned house until Friday since the foreman wouldn't show up and when he did the girls, mostly painted while the guys tore down the existing wall and roof and layed the new bricks. But fo rthe majority of the week we go to tag along with the other groups and go to the parks which were a major part of the evangelism that was going on and inviting people to the Callao Festival at the church! So it all turned out well and was a truly amazing expeirence. More later!!
