Mingling Cultures
We have been so blessed to having some Adventist Peruvian workers living and working on the project with us. So while eating meals, there are always Spanish lessons. They are quite amused by our horrible attempts at learning their language. We are all learning, but it’s definitely going to take a while!! It has been really cool to see how everyone has been included in conversation, despite an obvious language barrier between most of us. Saturday night, we played some games and were able to convince the Peruvian workers to play with us despite having no translator and all us SM’s knowing little Spanish. Amazingly enough, we were all able to use the little Spanish we knew and hand motions to describe the games. The whole evening was quite hilarious and I can honestly say I haven’t laughed that hard in a while!!

The Spanish will get better. I guess Edwin is still there. Good guy. Tell him "Ryan dice hola." I miss good 'ol 38. Take good care of it :) Especially Lola.
