Team Peru (AKA Teamo Supremo)
Left to right: Roxy, Laura, Lisa, Dave, Sarah, Breanne

As you may guess, we had a ridiculous amount of fun taking our team pictures; it was one of our first bonding moments. After this was immunizations, our next big moment. (I didn't have to get any, so I held their hands and entertained with finger puppets.)
We're slowly getting more information about what we'll be doing, and it seems like it will include teaching English, kid's ministry, helping with the church services, and working at a home for HIV+ women. We will be in Lima, which means I'll also get to see my sponsor girl, so I know that will be a highlight for me. More details later, I just wanted to get something up here.

The hammer falls

Today was the unveiling of teams.
Tension was high. Kleenex was ready. The chart was flipped.
I actually burst into tears before the names were even revealed, but one of the girls on my team ran and hugged me, telling me I was going to Peru. I then proceeded to cry for the full hour of worship.
I'm sure most of you can imagine how excited I was--returning to my favorite place! We've got a strong team and I think the journey ahead will be incredible.
Anyways, this is just a quick first post and some pics of my team.
Keep in touch!
Love you all!
