I think the english fellowship went well last night. I couldn't believe how well a couple of them knew the bible! We did some get to know each other kind of games and studied a little in Galatians. There were two girls who came that are actually in the basic class. They had asked if they could come because they wanted to practice listening. I think Claudia and I are going to try and hang out with them some and maybe disciple them. Well, I think one is a Christian- but is not really growing, and the other I don't think is a Christian. So if you could please pray for these two- their names are Ana Lucia and Sonia. Also, there is one guy that came name Moises. He seems very smart, but has some strange views on religion, the Bible, etc. He said he has tried a church in all denominations but they are all wrong. So please pray for him also, and for me and the other teachers, that God will give us the right words to share with him. He really is smart, and that is what I think makes it more difficult.
So I learned a little cultural thing today about Peru that has me quite scared...in February, which is the hottest month here, the people throw water balloons, buckets full of water, balloons filled with water and paint, and any other form of water on people all over the city. This means that if I am walking anywhere, there is a good chance I could get hit. Especially because I'm a gringa. I guess I'm bonus points and an even bigger target. So at times this will be fun... but I am a little scared to go anywhere. People do this mostly on Sundays, which makes going to church a little difficult. Oh well, I guess I'll see when January comes to an end...

they throw water and paint on people? is this a one weekend event or all month long? I would think that you would be a fun target for them.
I have some suggestions that comes highly recommended from my co-worker whose wife is from Lima. He says to try the ceviche. He loves it and there is a nice restaurant in a rundown part of town called Puro Peru that has wonderful authentic Peruvian food.
Keep preaching the word and I am praying for the 3 that are coming to your class.
