Door Creek Church - Day 2

***Special guest blogger Ella and photographer Kristin from the Door Creek Church Service Team***



Day Two! This lovely Sunday morning we had the pleasure of accompanying the Foss family to church at Nueve Vida in Manchay. We were greeted by many of the locals and got to experience a Peruvian church service en espanol. We quickly learned to appreciate the pleasures we had back in Madison while we sat on wooden pews, sang songs from a sheet of paper, and did not underst a word of the sermon.

For lunch we ate at Mediterranean Chicken with the Fosses and Chadwicks where we got to taste the famous pollo a la brasa (rotisserie chicken) of Peru. After eating our fill we experienced the Indian Markets and tried out our skills at bargaining.



Of course, we were thinking of all of you at home and purchased you souvenirs with our shiny Nuevo Soles. Then Jon took us to the beach where we finally saw the ocean, though it was too cold to swim in.



When we returned back to the team apartment we had a delicious dinner of spaghetti and meatballs, garlic bread, and some Inca Kola. We ended our night with a few fun games and a solid devotion led by Caleb on Matthew 6:21. Tomorrow we’ll be laying a cement foundation for the new tool shed we’ll be building for the home. We’re very excited to start our first day of real work and look forward to having Linda join our team.
