and we have days left!

We're leaving on a jet plane...

...because we just bought our plane tickets!  It is now official that the Four will be Lima-bound in January.  During the first few weeks of our internship we will start personalized language school so we can be the best we can at speaking Spanish.  The plan is to continue language school as we start our work with the Lima Team and keep learning as we go.  We're so excited and we've made a lot of progress over the past few weeks with logistical and relational stuff:

Nearly all of us have gotten physicals (which I thought I was done with after high school sports... guess not) and have been declared "fit for foreign travel."  So travel we will!

Last week Taylor, Kyle W., and I met Justin Thompson (of the Lima Team) while he was in College Station.  His family is in Texas for a while and we love it because we get to hang out with a part of the team we will be working with and get to know them before we leave.

Since we started fundraising, donations have been pouring in.  We've made so many trips to the bank that the tellers at the front desk know us and are even praying for us!  We cannot express to you how much it means to us that you are willing to support us with your money and your prayers.  You all deserve a huge thank you (and more).  We love you!

In our training sessions with Traci we have been learning about international missions and adjusting to a foreign culture.  One of our goals for the week is to learn about Lima, it's food, religion, politics, weather, anything.  We would love to hear from people have been to Lima before, so if that's you leave a comment please.

Until next time - Jenny
