¡Estoy en Lima!
Amid my second full day in Peru. Already I have much to think and write about. And already I have two languages trying to make sense in my head. I'm finding that listening and reading Spanish is much easier than creating my own sentences. But, then again, it is only day 3 out of 32. My goal is going to be to have at least one blog post contain a few paragraphs completely en español.
Already there is much to write about. My flight was definitely a new experience, but I hadn't flown since infancy, so that may have had something to do with it. No major complications, other than leaving more than 2 and a half hours late from the Miami airport.
First impressions of Peru:
When I arrived at the airport, there was a bustle of people. And when I left to ride back to the Collinses' house I noticed how crazy the traffic was, and how pedestrians really do not have the right of way. And yet, at the same time, I could see that people know where they are going, and are awake and alert on the road. Somehow, among the flow of people and cars, things run smoothly.
It's winter here, which means temperatures stay in the mid-60s. It's perfect for me, and I can be comfortable in jeans and a t-shirt. It doesn't really rain in Lima. In fact, the heaviest rain is happening right now, in the form of a heavy mist.
Last night I got to attend my first service at la Iglesia de Mayor Gracia. I loved learning songs like Everlasting God, At the Cross, and Shout to the Lord in Spanish. P. Stan introduced me to the church members, and preached in English with translation. Afterward I met and talked with a few girls my age.
I love that, no matter where I go, Greater Grace churches are always the same. The same Spirit, the same Body, the same friendship with our liberty in Christ at the center.
Many events and trips coming up. I'll write more in depth about things later, and keep watching for pictures and videos!
Las palabras en español para hoy: "Se que mi Dios me ama."
