When we arrived, it did not take long to realize how different things were! Peru is nothing like America, although I did notice some things in common with Barbados. Actually, the city smells exactly like Barbados. It smells wonderfully like the ocean.
Landon and I were blessed in that we had no problems at all flying from San Antonio to Peru. There was one layover in Houston, and that was uneventful. Even when we landed in Peru, going through customs and immigration was very easy.
The following Tuesday after arriving was an easy, relaxing, “getting adjusted” day. We learned where the nearest supermarket was, how to contact people with the local phones, and met some of the church members. Wednesday then we went to the English Institute and advertised for the coming classes. We also had an introductory information meeting that night. Then Thursday we jumped right in and started reading with the Peruvians!
We have experienced SO much interest since the classes have started! So many people want to read that we no longer have any space in our schedules! Landon is reading the book of Luke with eleven people, and I am reading with nineteen. Additionally, we have a waiting list. Thank the Lord! Things are going very fruitfully.
