I got the news yesterday that a team from my home church St. Peter and St. Paul will be coming to Arequipa at the end of July! Awesome news. They put in their request to come 4 months before their proposed date and were confirmed about 3 months before their arrival. Maria, my host mom, said that usually teams need about a year's notice to be able to come on a trip. She thought it was pretty miraculous that they were even approved. The team will be coming out to help construct a church in a mission area of the local church. It will be a week long trip full of great experiences.
So these last couple of days I have been full of thanks and wonder. What is happening here in Arequipa? What kind of works are being done? Time will only tell.
St. Peter and St. Paul, get excited with me and give some thanks up. There is a lot of good to do in the world, and we are privileged to be given such a wonderful opportunity to come and work and experience such an amazing place.
On another note, these pictures were taken on Saturday in the downtown area. There was an amazing sun setting with golden light playing off of the Cathedral walls. I couldn't believe I caught that bird in flight on the picture in the middle. The last picture is of some action going on downtown.
