Day 1 Sunday
We made it safely to Lima bright and early at 5:45 this morning! Huge praise that all of our luggage and supplies made it and customs was fast and fairly smooth. Once we arrived at the convent we hit the ground running. We were able to meet the other therapists on the trip with us, ate breakfast and then loaded the bus to head to Shalom. Once at Shalom we attended church service (it is always such an awesome experience to see how the love and worship of Christ transcends all language barriers) and then began setting up the clinic for the week ahead. Once we got back from the clinic we were able to explore a little bit and go to the beach. We ate dinner (which was SO GOOD) and talked about what our week ahead will look like. Needless to say it's been a busy day and we are all exhausted. Be in prayer for the team for calm nerves and peace as we start our first day in the clinic tomorrow and for team chemistry as we continue to grow and work together to fulfill the Lord's calling to serve the beautiful people of Lima.

Packing Party!
The Lima team had their packing party this week. They packed up tons of donated PT-related supplies including wheelchairs, walkers, and all kinds of pediatric rehab supplies. We are overwhelming blessed with the monetary and equipment donations for this team!
The team is excited to get on the planes, trains, taxis, and city busses to go serve the people of Peru with a healing touch.
