Sorry for the lack of blogging lately. I've been in Peru for the last two weeks traveling around with the Brown's, Corban, and the other interns going to different Summer Camps (it's summer in Peru right now) and helping out. More pics of that trip later...
One night before we left for Peru, Corban was invited to lead worship at an Indigenous Quichua church in Ambato. We made the three-hour drive with them and had a great time of fellowship and experience!
Some surrounding buildings around the church.
Here is a picture of their school, there is only one school for the whole town. 60 children. Grades K-7th. One teacher. Sad. I wish I could do something to help! My wheels were spinning all night...
We spent a little time upstairs, which is where we found the women in the kitchen preparing our meal....Cuy. For those of you who don't know, Cuy is Guinea Pig. It's a common meal here in Latin America and I thought that maybe, just maybe I'd go the whole three months without coming into contact with this fried rodent. No such luck, tonight was the night! So, here I am, trying guinea pig for the first time! They were chanting all of the Gringos on the whole time.
Here are the women in the kitchen cooking.
This is him before...
Here it comes, yikes!
And this is him after...
Bye bye mister cuy...
Side note: I did not eat it all, just a bite. Small advantages to sitting next to a boy (just slide over anything you don't want to finish and they'll finish it for you!)
