Hola from Peru!

Hey again everyone! Mom and Dad can you please call my room at the El Pueblo Center tonight, because I really want to talk to you, but I haven´t gotten the chance to change my money to soles yet. Please call!:)
Just to let you know, this spanish keyboard is really really confusing! Anyway, left Miami yesterday at 2:30 in the morning and basically travelled all day long, with a 5hour long layover in Ecuador. It was really tiring, but at least I got a couple hours sleep along the way. Once we arrived in Peru, got through customs, and immigration, we got on buses right outside the airport. And when we walked out the airport doors it was like a totally different world. People were everywhere, and the whole aura just felt kind of heavy. It was definitley different! We drove about 45 mintues to where we are staying here in Peru. It was so strange to see little shacks on the side of the road, laudry hanging from broken roofs, and cars driving crazy and honking at everyone. It truly made me want to cry when I saw all that new stuff, and all the garbage piled up everywhere in the middle of the street. And we arrived at the El Pueblo Center. I can´t tell you how amazing this place is!!! Its huge and it looks like a small spanish town, its really neat. I wish all of you could be here to see it! And when we walked in to eat dinner, it was like we were in a castle and we were being treated like royalty:) it is unbelieveable!
Today was a little bit different. We got up at about six thirty and had breakfast. Then we packed up our backpacks and headed to the buses. There we met our four translators: Luis, Christina, Jonathan, and I don´t remember the other guy´s name. When we got to the little village, there were little kids running around everywhere. Then we got out of the bus and started playing games with the kids. It was truly awesome!! We played duck, duck, goose;ring around the rosy, jump rope, and ran down the street with them on our backs. It was so much fun! It was amazing just to see how the little kids had so much joy and were willing to have fun with complete strangers. After we played for a couple hours, we washed hair for people who have probably never washed their hair before. It was an awesome experience. I think that God definitley had a part in it. Me and another girl probably washed 30-35 kids hair using only a small hotel shampoo! God multiplied the bread and fish, and he multiplies shampoo too!! After that we had peanut butter and jelly for lunch on the bus and drove about a block away to change and put on makeup for our drama. One of my leaders put on my clown makeup for me, it was so fun! Then we went back out the site and sang Jesus Loves Me, and I´ve Got the Joy to the kids and their families. Then we performed our drama, and it went great. I even got a little emotional while we were doing it. It was amazing to see about 15 people, of all ages, come to Christ. After the drama we played with the kids. There this little girl who kept taking off my clown wig and running off with it. It was great! It was sooo hard to say goodbye to them, especially since we had bonded with them the whole day. Well, now I´m back at El Pueblo, just hanging out till FUAGNEM tonight. Well, I gotta go!ª Talk to you all soon! I love you and I miss you!
