Today I found a park

The warmth and sunshine and clear blue skies are so...lovely...inspiring...motivating...enjoyable...and make me think of going to a park. I asked Dennis if there was one nearby, and he gave me directions to a little parque within walking distance of this house. It was surrounded by lots of Peruvian-style houses with their colours and flat roofs and gorgeous flowers. I sat on a bench and read Tim Keller's The Reason for God for a while, and it felt so peaceful and blessed in contrast with the normally chaotic and noisy Lima that I know. I look forward to returning to 'my spot' soon.

The past few days I've been working 8-4 at Colegio San Andres at the matriculation desk. There aren't many people coming in during January; there was a rush in December at the end of the school year, and there'll be another rush in February when school is about to open again. All I'm doing is handing forms to the parents and making sure they've filled them in correctly. Not particularly exciting, so I have Dickens' A Tale of Two Cities to keep me entertained. :-)

I hope to return to la Iglesia Presbiteriana de Surco tomorrow for church, but I'm a little apprehensive about getting there, since I'm now living in a different district and have a different bus route to that part of the city. Here's hoping I'll not get lost tomorrow!
