Just to show you where I will be teaching... the International Christian School of Lima is in this church building, The Union Church, on Avenida Angamos Oeste. My classroom is on the 2nd floor. I took these pictures when I was there in January interviewing, but I wish I got more of the surrounding neighborhood. I'll make sure I get some better ones in July.

laur, i love your blog. I am sitting here all teary eyed reading it. What an amazing journey. And i am even amazed at how well i am accepting this adventure of yours (and the Lord's). A parent couldn't ask for anything more than his/her child fulfilling God's plan for his/her life and that is why i am so thrilled for you! I love you with all my heart!!!!!!
We will be doing alot of skyping.
I love seeing where you'll be most of the days...it helps to ease the curiosity a bit. love you!
Hi Lauren!
What an exciting time for you! For some reason I've always wanted to visit Peru.
Tip for the Day: whenever I'm traveling to a Spanish Speaking country and haven't been there for a while I pick up a Reader's Digest (Selecciones) and a National Geographic in SPANISH and read them on the plane. If you can find them somewhere ahead of time, read them out loud. I mean you can do that on the plane and sitting around airports if you want to, but...
That's always helped to get my thoughts and tongue flowing again. I do the same thing with Portuguese when going to Brazil.
When you get there (or now if you get the right channels)... watch TV! News programs are good because the person speaking is always facing you (you can watch their mouth) and they usually speak clearly and correctly.
Well, those are my helpful thoughts for the day!
Enjoy! Debbie Murphy
Oops... meant to mention that I pick up those mags in the airport... they always have Spanish versions!
Lauren, I love your blog! I'm so glad you did this so I can keep in touch with your life. You don't feel so far away that way. I'm am so proud of you for putting your life in God's hands and being willing to serve Him. I know God is just going to shine right through you in Peru!!! Love you!
hey Laur! I just stumbled upon your blog! I am so excited for you! Looking forward to hearing about your time in Peru and how the Lord is going to use you there!!
thank you debbie b! (this could be confusing with 2 debbie's!) it's so comforting to know i have so much prayer support before I am even there. i know God has a lot to come and I'm definitely excited (and nervous of course)! but this will be a great way to keep in touch :) credit goes to Aunt Lisa for that.. she got me started and set it up initially!
hey Jen! i'm glad you found me :) i love checking your blog too.. Aiden is too stinking adorable. You and Rob have so much fun with him! Well, now that i've crossed over into the blogging world, we can keep in touch a lot more, especially once I'm in Peru!
Laur, i looove the new changes you've made here and there on the side bar. Very tech savvy you are.
...anxious for a new post soon. hmmm. like maybe a graduate pic of the 3.95 girl...smartest in the world, of course. eh hem, cept for er, of course.
