Today is the day. in twelve hours we will be packing up and heading to O'Hare airport. People are every where here doing last minute practices, collating the ever important business cards, and catching up on final work projects. I bet if I were to take a poll of the people here, the majority would not yet even be packed. God is pretty amazing pulling us all together and even when it seems impossible, He accomplishes it all for us. I know that He will provide the exact amount of time that is needed to complete everything necessary.
Alright, so here is little preview of Peru. It is located in western South America. It is surrounded by Ecuador, Colombia, Brazil, Bolivia, Chile, and the Pacific Ocean is on its coast. If you know anything about the Incas then you know a bit about Peru. This is where the Inca Empire was located, the Incas ruled there until they were conquered by the Spanish Empire. However, they did gain independence in 1821 from Spain.
Peru is divided into three distinct regions- coast, mountains, and jungle. Lima, the capital, is the fifth largest city in Latin America. This is where we will be staying while we are there. We also will be visiting Callao, Lima's seaport.
Okay, so there is just a very brief overview of Peru. Really it didn't even scratch the surface, but at least you know where it is!
Continue praying. May He be glorified.
