The 3 months of formation passed by in a flash, some days it
seemed like a never ending forever and some it seemed like we had been training
for a week! And well now, I am at my mission post! (Apparently the three months
passed way too fast because I never seemed to have time to blog, opps…)
The mystery won’t continue any longer, I am in PERU! Praise
Jesus! He has called me to love PERU this year. I live in a small pueblo called
Buenos Aires about an hour and a half from Tarapoto which is about an hour
plane ride from Lima. (No llamas in this area of Peru, it was a sad day when I
found out too).
We arrived last week and have been working on settling in which has been an
adventure. We have a small and beautiful house with four rooms, a living room, a
kitchen and an outside bathroom. I’ve been praying to Mary and St. Francis to please protect me from the bugs and small animals at night as I adventure my way to the bathroom. We have found a roach, a huge moth, and a billion crickets so far. PRAY FOR ME!!

I have also been working to make my room homey and a
space where I can relax after a long day. Andrea my mission partner/sister from
another Mister* helped paint my room a really nice sky blue. I have been putting up pictures and different
things around my room to make it feel like home. It’s super scary at night, but
I was able to sleep real well so Mary has Got my back! Cause I haven’t had to
get up to go to the bathroom too often!
So far it has been a beautiful and nice time in Buenos
Aires, which, fun fact: the town was called something not-so-nice in Quechua before
and a priest that was ministering here some years back changed the name after his home city in Argentina, Buenos
Aires. When I had gotten the letter contained the place I was going to be
assigned to, I was very confused and thought they had made a mistake because it
said Buenos Aires, Peru. But lo and behold here I am! I have been met with
smiling faces and welcoming people. Jesus has placed in my heart peace and a
surety that he is with me, and that he takes care of me. And will continue too!
Here I am Peru, get ready!!
Jesus*
