Hello from Huancane!
No, we did not get to Conima today. Apparently, no bus coming through wanted to go to Conima or even head in that direction. We are sad because we had scheduled two storying sessions with two people and had no way to tell them why we could not meet them. Hopefully they will understand when we tell them tomorrow. We are told that a bus will come through at either six, seven, or eight in the morning, so we are going to be up and ready to go at 5:45 just in case.
Other than that, this weekend was very fun and relaxing. Saturday, Heather, Jeremy, and I went to Huancane on the bus. Riding on public transportation here is...interesting. I can´t complain because all of the teams here have to go through this, but it was very crowded and the people were not friendly at all. But, we made it in one piece, and that is all that matters! When we got to Huancane, we ate a quick lunch at the restaurant and then headed to Juliaca for some grocery shopping! Before we left, we said goodbye to Sara. We are going to miss her! If you are reading this, Sara, we love you!
We had fun in Juliaca. We did some fun souvenir shopping, got all of our groceries (3 carts full--feeding five plus the youth team coming in next week requires a lot of food!), and ate at the Royal Inn. We all ordered pizzas and thoroughly enjoyed them! When it was time to go, we all got onto the little bicycle public transportation cart things and ended up getting taken to two different bus stops. So Heather and I rode on a different bus home than the others, but we all made it!
Sunday, the Moho team and Huancane girls joined us for a Fourth of July celebration! We had a good cook out with burgers, beans, chips, banana pudding, and apple pie. It was so good! After eating we played some games; it was a competition between texas and Georgia, and unfortunately, Georgia won, but only during the tie breaker! I did the sack race, but we also had did apple bobbing, the frozen t-shirt contest, the mandarine roll, a cracker eating contest, an egg drop contest, and an egg toss. It was fun to spend time with everyone. We ended the night by shooting off fireworks with Ruben, Rosmie, and the rest of Ruben´s family, watching 27 Dresses and eating more banana pudding!
Obviously, we have not done much today, but we are rested and ready for a busy week! We are hoping for lots of opportunities to story this week. Everything is in God´s hands, and we are ready to do His will.
Love you all! Have a great week. :)
