Playing a new card game.
A team from Irving, Texas came in for a short term mission trip this week. This monday evening the team shared some of their stories with the kids at the older orphanage about how they came to be in the professions that they are practicing now. This was to help the kids get an idea of what they might like to do in the future. After the stories we did some arts and crafts and played games. It was a fun evening and I got a good opportunity to take some pictures of the kids I get to hang out with here in Arequipa.
During the day we also went out to San Lucas School to do some activities there. I helped in the group that taught the kids how to play baseball. No Jose Consecos in the group but at least no one got a black eye from a stray foul ball. A success in my book! Some of the team members do pretty well with communicating in Spanish, but for the most part I have been their translator. I have enjoyed it and am glad that this gift is being put to good use.

Sounds like a lot of fun... maybe SP2 can do something like the irving team. I can't help but think about how you struggled at first to speak the language... but you have certainly prevailed! That is so cool.
The pictures are great! I'm so glad you're doing this blog as it makes me feel apart of what you're doing. You really look like you're enjoying yourself with the family and kids. Bless you...
"That is so cool."
