We are in Conima and finally have internet access! We got here Thursday and the power, phone and internet were out. The power and cell service came back that night, but internet just returned today. I am squeezed into the corner of the tiny internet bodega in Conima. I have been listening to ¨Por fin!¨ over and over as the kid beside me was playing video games on the computer. Today is a day of rest for the people so we have chosen it as a day of rest for ourselves as well. Unfortunately this morning was spent waiting as a man tried to get into Jeremy´s room. The door was locked and the key would not work. He spent last night on the couch in the living room. Finally after 3 hours of work, he was able to get into his room. We were able to play with some kids in the plaza while waiting for him to finish. After that we took a picnic out to the shore of the lake. We ate lunch, layed in the sun, played with 2 boys who sneakily followed us out there, skipped rocks and just had a nice relaxing time. After coming back we did some kitchen work and dinner preparation. Then we went prayer walking around the city. Now, finally, we are catching up on our emails and blogging. Jeremy and Alison are probably preparing our spaghetti for supper. We´re all excited. We have had so much chicken and not much beef. Tomorrow is market day so we will be able to stock up on a larger variety of vegetables and fruits.
Our house is incredible. It has 4 floors. In the kitchen and even most of the house you would never know you were in Peru, it´s very similar to an American house. Except for the fact your fingers are numb from the cold =) There isn´t any heat in the house. But we do have a space heater in the living room on the 4th floor and at night we turn it on and sit up there. We also have tons of blankets on our beds and warm sleeping bags if we need them. The house is usually colder than outside. Outside it is around 50 degrees but with the sun it feels like 80 or so. You just have to put on sunscreen before going out.
We are working on memorizing the stories we are going to share with people. Emily and I are learning the creation story. ´´In el comiendo de todo, Dios creo el cielo y el tierra. El tierra no tenia entonces ninguna forma...'' That´s as far as I have gotten and can remember right now. Still a lot of work to go!
Well, I should probably go outside and warm up. Thanks for your prayers!
