Well, we made it. And about time, too. Our flight--which we shared with 4 other mission teams coming to Peru (two which were wearing matching shirts!)-- was delayed a bit leaving the States and seemed to take forever. We landed in Lima at 1115, got out of the airport at 1am, and finally got to sleep about 2am. Different groups went different places this morning, Starbucks, E. Wong's (the Peruvian equivalent to SuperWalMart), etc, and we loaded up to go to the Aeropuerto at noon. We had a bit of trouble in locating a plane to take us to Cajamarca as ours was comandeered and sent to Iquitos. Got to Villa Millagro at 530, unpacked, ate dinner with the other group staying here--from Rock Creek Church in Little Rock, and got oriented. All is well so far. Tomorrow the plan is to go to Monte Sion school for a clinic/soccer practice. Thanks for your thoughts and prayers.
P.S. Pictures are forthcoming. As soon as I figure out how to post them.

You may not have had matching shirts, but you had matching luggage tags. They could all find themselves when they got to Lima, but could they spot their suitcases? ha I bet you were the youngest looking group since you have Scrib along. Glad to hear you made it OK. Merinda and I have had an ongoing discussion today of where you were and what you were doing. Will be thinking about you at Monte Sion Saturday. Grandma Nae-Nae

Hello Janet and Martha! I feel like our trio has gone duet and I wish I was there with you to sing!! I'm so glad you are getting this opportunity and know you will bless and be blessed! I will be praying for you and your team and will be smiling thinking about all of the wonderful acts of love you will be showing the people of Peru!
Love and prayers,
Jo - It seems like you have had an adventure already. After two days of travel I bet you are anxious to get to work. I am praying for you and look forward to joining you in about a week. Say hi to Jan for me. - Jess
