The Adventure to the Orphange's

Good evening from Peru! Our day started fairly normally, we served the women breakfast and ate our own. We then listened to Pastor Bill preach to the women. The we tried to leave at 9 am to start our adventure for the day, which included visiting both Azul Wasi and The Josefine House. Both of these places are orphanage's. However there was much confusion on if we would have a translator or not (we didn't have one), and our bus driver spoke little English. Our plan was to go to the super market and buy sandwich items to make sandwich's for lunch and buy some staple foods for Azul Wasi. That plan was put aside when the driver had no idea what we were asking, meaning we had no lunch items. After asking many locals, police officers and driving down a very small road, we finally found Azul Wasi. We got there later than expected, and the director wasn't around when we arrived. So we looked around and kicked around a soccer ball with the children. The director finally arrived and he took us on a tour of place. Two years ago I was at Azul Wasi, and the change from two years is incredible. They got a new greenhouse and had two new buildings were built. Sadly we couldn't spend too much time there because we had continue on our journey. We tried to tell the bus driver that we wanted sandwich's but he didn't understand. So we had a nutritious lunch, including Coke-cola, mayonnaise, oregano and cheese, and BBQ chicken flavoured Lays chips. We also had cookies and buns from a car trunk (Seth may have had sand on his bun). We then tried to make our way to The Josefine House. However, just like on trip to Azul Wasi, we got lost, and tried to cross a bridge that was too small. We eventually made it. The children were all just waking up from their naps. I still remember some of the children, including Carlos, Daniel and Zoe. Josefine House is building a new house for the children, and it looks amazing! We played on the playground with the kids and passed around a ball. It was very hard to say good-bye to the children, because we had slowly become attached. (Stephanie, Carlos is doing well! I can't wait to tell you more and share pictures and videos!) We safely made our way back to ATEK without getting lost! Praise the lord! We got back to ATEK just before 4, and at 4 we joined a church service at ATEK, with the ladies. We were planning on doing one baby dedication, however after the first baby dedicated all of the ladies wanted their babies dedicated, so instead we just blessed the children and their mothers. All of the ladies then wanted pictures with us according it Spencer we took 37 photos. We are finishing off the day with some team time. Please keep our health in your prayers, some of us still aren't feeling well. As well Pastor Bill's voice, he is teaching every day for very long times. Team unity as well. The answer to yesterdays guess who, is Sammi! When we were in the village the squaties weren't really flushing, so Sammi went to the bathroom and afterwards, she exclaimed "I peed on the poo!" Todays guess who is " The way to pick up a girl is to rub peppermint oil on her tummy." Love Amanda
