We had our game night last Saturday and I think it went very well. We played the game "Apples to Apples". That night and the next night at our Bible study we for some reason had A LOT of new people show up. It is amazing that these people somehow are hearing about our Bible studies and they all want to come to improve their english. Please keep all these people in your prayers as we will be getting to know them in the future. We also will be starting a new Bible study this Saturday at Alianza, one of the churches I have been attending. This will mostly be lead by Nick, who just arrived here today from studying Spanish in Cusco.

Here is a picture from game night...


So today I went to my first physical therapy appointment. It was really difficult and I was so thankful that I had Claudia to help me with the language. I guess I'm going to have to study up on my physical therapy vocabulary. Before going I had already decided I was going to try really hard not to go to all of my appointments. I just felt like they were going to be a waste of time and money, but then God changed my attitude about it. First of all, all of the stuff they are doing is stuff I cannot do on my own at home. Also, my physical therapist asked me why I was here. So then I got to talk to him about what I am doing here. In the middle of that, a lady who was in the area next to me (there was a curtain between us) pulled the curtain back a little bit to ask about the Bible studies. Before she left she got all the information about the classes. So even though going to physical therapy in Peru seems strange, I think God has me doing it for a reason. And also my ankle is already feeling much better! Claudia does have to kind of force me to put the ice on it though because it is just too cold for me. So I am supposed to have nine more visits in the next three weeks.

We went on Tuesday to check out a camp for the summer students. This is a place for about 100 of us to gather and debrief from our mission trips. So if you are looking at my photos online, all the photos labeled Mahanaim are of the camp, just in case you were wondering what they were. The people there were so nice too! And so we were able to go ahead and make reservations for the summer debriefing!
