We had a great day today. Jennifer, our translator from Arequipa, arranged a Bible storying session at an elementary school in a poor section of Arequipa. Martin (our translator from Lima) led in music while our team signed "Jesus Loves Me" and tried to sing along in Spanish. Ben told his Bible story and the others acted it out. Very well received and the children responded well.
Afterwards we took a tour of the Cathedral of Arequipa http://www.sacred-destinations.com/peru/arequipa-cathedral.htm, which had a great view of the city and surrounding volcanoes from the roof and had a great lunch downtown.
Then we flew to Lima without any problems. We are staying (for free) in one of the missionary's 4-bedroom apartment in Miraflores, a very nice suburb of Lima. Very blessed.
Tomorrow (Tuesday) and Wednesday we are scheduled to work with an American missionary who has started a children's ministry in a poor section of Lima. Pray for Annie May and Jake as they share their Bible stories.
Keep on praying,
Miles
Great to hear you guys made it out of Juliaca. We are praying for a safe and uneventful flight home.
