Delays Delays Delays

We finally made it last night at about 8pm. Our flight from Atlanta to Miami was delayed for 2 hours from 5:25 to 7:25 and our flight in Miami was delayed for 1 hour. After that we finally made it to Lima at about 5am. Once we arrived in Lima we stayed with a pastor of one of the churches there. He is a very good friend of ours and we are so glad that we got to stay with him for a few hours. I got to sleep for about two hours and then we got up and saw a little bit of the city. I took Katie for her first bus ride in Peru and we also rode in a "mototaxi"! It's a motorcycle that has been adapted to a three wheeler with two seats in the back for the passengers.

We had a wonderful time and it was a good break from all the delays. Please pray for Ruben Effio and his assistant pastor Luis Gutierrez. Here is a picture of them.

I will put up some more pictures after I finish writing so ya'll can see what we have been up to.

After being in Lima for the day, we went to the airport expecting our flight to be heading out by 2:40pm which was cancelled because of the strikes here in Peru. Our second flight was scheduled for 4:50 but guess what! Yipeeeeee! We got delayed again!!!!!!! We finally left lima at about 6:00 and arrived in Arequipa at 7:00pm.

Now that we are here everything is great, a little cold, but great. I obviously have already made a couple of stops at "El Turco" (the best restaurant in the world) and I'm heading there for lunch in the next half hour.

Chris and I have already been to the Bible College to see how we are going to set up the Medical Clinic. We had a meeting with some of the people that are helping set up and everything seems to be running smoothly, thanks for your prayers and we will let you know of anything new.
