Ian and I are now in Peru. We visited our language school today, took the entrance test, and passed into the beginners' class. That will be a comfortable start and provide a reassuring foundation.
Tonight is the World Day of Prayer service in the cathedral, so off we go! Our immersion begins.
Here are some pictures of our time in Lima as we check out an apartment, shop at a fancy grocery store, and visit the parks. This is the "high end" of Lima, not the Shanty Towns. Those will come later when we visit around on the weekends. Our main task these three months is to learn Spanish and the culture. This will take all of my energy, so having hot water, decent food and some walks in the park will keep me going in this foreign culture. Ian and I pray every
day for patience and the ability to learn Spanish so that we can communicate with our new acquaintances.
The next post will include a few words I have learned in Monday's class. For now- Adios!

Just looked at your blog in over a month. So glad all is going well for both of you. We think of you often and miss you very much. Spring is finally starting to come to Wisconsin. Hugs to both of you from the Crane's
