Buenas noches!
Yesterday (Wednesday), after I posted, we watched Double Jeopardy on tv, ha ha!
And then I took a two and a half hour nap and it was lovely!
Then we took a taxi about an hour away to where our bus was to take to Pacasmayo!
The bus was much more comfortable than any airplane I have been on.
You are seriously sitting on these lazy boy chairs and they have the same material for your legs!
It's really quite interesting. I enjoyed it since we were on that bus for about 14 hours.
We slept most of it on and off.
You will be glad to know that we arrived safely in Pacasmayo around 9:30 a.m.
It is so weird to have such full days. I feel like I live two days in one, the amount of time I have, ha ha! That's probably pathetic, but it's the truth nonetheless.
I got to shower, my first cold shower of the journey. But I was clean =]
And the weather in Pacasmayo is so much better than Lima! I love it!
Although I would never have survived with contacts! So good thing I got glasses!
I start helping with teaching tomorrow.
I had dinner with the kids and helped them with math homework.
I know you are thinking, how in the world did Rita help with math? I was thinking the same thing, but I succeeded! I couldn't figure out one question, ha ha.
The kids are already helping me with spanish so that is exciting.
Tonight was missionary night so all of us workers had an extra special meal prepared and ate dinner and we are actually watching P.S. I Love You...ha ha ha!
I went to town today with Kevin and got some supplies. Pacasmayo is nothing like Lima but I like it. These little carriage buggies are so cool!
Anyways, if you have any questions, feel free to ask. I will be on the internet probably at nights. I will be working on my books in the mid-afternoons before dinner most likely. I didn't forget Emma! My first book has to be done by next Friday so I need to get going on that.
I am currently living on my own. I will videotape my room tonight so I can post it tomorrow! I will try and get on top of pictures too so that my posts will be exciting with things to see!
Also, make sure you look at the previous day's post each time you get on because I will respond to the comments you leave me!
I am going to go for this evening but be praying for my first day of assisting in english class!
I love each and every one of you and thank you for the prayers!
Proverbs 4:4 "he taught me and said, "Lay hold of my words with all your heart; keep my commands and you will live."

I know you will do great in helping with the class. And you will be learning also! How exciting. What are these books you talk about? I do not remember if you told me what they were.

great to hear from you, glad you are scheduling time for your school work :), isn't it amazing what you can get done in a day when you have to?! love you, enjoy every moment!
ReplyDeleteOh, the joys of those buses! That is the exact type of bus I took to the Iguazu Falls at the border of Argentina, Brazil, and Paraguay which was like a 20 hour trip. Gotta love em. I'm glad you have arrived at your destination safely and begun teaching and interacting with the kids. Your love for them will shine out. Can't wait to hear/see more about where you are. Love ya! ~Sarah
