I made it!

I made it to Peru!!!
I arrived in Lima late last night. My host family was there to meet me and take me to my "new home".

Meeting my new family for the first time (can you tell who is the gringa?)

My new roommate !

They are wonderful, kind people and I am so blessed to be invited into their home. They are so generous and hospitable.   I had my first full day today. It was very good, and yet very overwhelming. I am learning how it is to live with only speaking Spanish (which I am not very good at yet...) None of them speak English, so it is really full immersion. They are very patient with my mistakes
I would appreciate your prayers for speed in learning!
I am trying to take it all in. Everything about my new surroundings are so different. I got to see the beautiful beach near the house and also got to see the reality of Peru when we went to buy a bed and bedding in the city. (Its an hour drive to central lima from the town I am staying at.) I didn't bring my camera, so I don't have any pictures from today, but some will be coming soon!
Thank you for your prayers! I will try to update again soon!
