Update Two

Hola Amigos y Familia!
We are back in the Hostal Arequipa after a long day. We had breakfast at 6:30 this morning, in the hotel.
After breakfast, we boarded the motorcars for the first time this trip! We were at CEMY all day today. CEMY stands for Central Evangelico Missionario de Yarinacocha (Central Evangelical Missionary of Yarinacocha), and is the church we are working with for this trip. All morning, the guys worked on construction. My mom and I had the chance to help out in some of the classrooms at the school attached to the church. We helped with art projects and teaching English.
The ladies of the church made us a delicious lunch- Fried fish, rice, and yuka. (Yuka is the heart of a palm tree)
Today was Pastor Doug's birthday, so the children at the school sang him songs and made him cards.
In the afternoon, we played with some of the kids during recess. The children here are intrigued by our digital cameras, because they can immediately see themselves. I spent quite some time taking picture of kids, then saying "Mira! Es tu" (look! it's you!) and showing them.
There was a group of 5 or 6 girls who followed my mom and I everywhere, asking questions and learning English.
After most of the kids had gone home, we did some work. (Yes, you read that correctly. I, Alyssa, DID, in fact, do manual labor.) We moved a large pile of tiles from a puddle of mud to the pavement. It sounds really wimpy when I say it, but it DID take some work :)
We have been blessed with unseasonably cool weather, and a few rain showers throughout the day. Normally the weather is nearly unbearably hot, but it has been extremely pleasant.
Thank you for your prayers, we will continue to keep you updated.
