Memorizing, a Cultural Dance, Memorizing ... by Emily

The title of this blog pretty much summarizes what the past few days have been like. Wednesday, we all worked for a while on memorizing our Bible stories, and then we got a surprise visit from John Grady and two of the girls from the Huancane group. It was great to see them! John was really encouraging, and he got our group more excited about the work that we are doing. He showed us how to get to the store of the last family that we had pictures to give to. They were so grateful and excited to see pictures of their families.

Yesterday was a bit different. We went around ten in the morning to see a cultural dance contest that we were told would go from ten until two in the afternoon. It ended up not starting until noon, but it was okay because we got the chance to talk a little bit to the people. The contest was really fun! They had concessions stands set up in mud structures, and students at all levels danced. It was great time to be exposed to the Aymaran culture.

Today we are memorizing our stories some more, and tonight we hope to tell each other our stories. Pray for wisdom!

Love to you all.
