New Month, New Ministry, New Culture

As of yesterday I boarded a plane for Lima,Peru. This is my first time out of the United States. Got to Lima about 12:30 this morning and slept for about 5 hours. I got a chance to go over to the school this afternoon to meet the teachers and staff and some of the staff children. Played a vigioroua game of volleyball and had a cookout and got to know several people. I experienced my first bus ride this afternoon which was interesting and scary at the same time. The house that I am staying out over looks the Andes mountains(which I thought was cool cause growing up I read about the Andes mountains and now they are essentially in my backyard). The house does have a pool and a pool house and at least 9 bedrooms and a lot of bathrooms. It is a huge house to where you won't be bumping into people. School starts on Monday and I can not wait to meet my 24(that's right that is how many students I have) students.In preschool there are two teachers(Peruvian and American) and I will primarily be teaching Phonics, Math, and Social Studies.
