First days...

Arrived in Pucallpa, Peru safe and sound! The humidity was what I expected it to be once I landed and the heat is actually less than expected! Love it so far... People are awesome, the food is amazing and the ice cream is out of this world! Can't believe I'm here but I'm glad I am! This will be a year to remember! A year full of memories... Almost all Sm's have arrived and we have started to get to know each other! We have an amazing group and can't wait to get to know and work with them! 

First Sabbath

Started our first sabbath at Kilometer 38! Was a blast being with everyone with a beautiful bonfire while singing many praise songs! Loved being with everyone! Missed home very deeply while having prayer and sitting around the fire but I was reminded by Dr. Mathews that we are all here for a reason and that is because God wants us here! My fellow SMs are amazing and extremely funny! Have had a great time getting to know everyone! Kilometer 38 was beautiful! Especially since the stars can so easily be seen out there!! Love it! I feel so close to God! I know he is with me and will always be with me now, throughout my trip and always! :D

Adventure!!

Went out on an adventure to visit a small town called San Francisco on some boats!! Had a blast with the other SM's!! Took many pictures of our day! We also went to the zoo which was amazing!! I got to hug a cute monkey! It was so adorable! Loving my time here! Missing home but know that I am here because God needs me to be! 

Thinking

Thinking about the opportunity God has given me to go out and serve the beautiful country of Peru! So excited to be heading out... Can't wait to indulge in the culture, the food, and especially in the people! Thank God for the opportunity to go out and serve in his name! So excited! :) 

Newbie!

Hello!!

So this is the first time I have ever blogged about anything. It will be interesting and fun to be posting what happens to me during my stay in Peru as a student missionary. I am so excited to be going out into the unknown.  I have never been to Peru so this will be something new for me. I am extremely eager to be in Peru and see the place that will be my new home for the next year but I am also nervous about leaving my home behind where all my friends and family are.... But the adventure begins in 7 days.... yay! :D
