Two weeks ago we went out to this camp ground named Victor with my Peruvian family and their church. It was about an hour away so we rode in a fifteen passenger van on a road that was not my favorite, however it was extremely pretty. The road went out into the middle of nowhere and was super curvy and crazy high! When we got there I found out that it was not what I expected at all… it was awesome! They had a pool along with a volley ball court in one area. If you went down the hill a little there was a huge building that had a ping pong table, tables and chairs. There were also horses and cabins that people could stay in. It was super pretty. It was great hanging out with people from our Peruvian families church and practicing my Spanish. I also brought out Bananagrams, the Spanish edition, to play and I actually one game (with some help from those around)!
Another cool thing they had at this camp was a huge human foosball court. It was this huge cage with bars in it that ran across it. You hold on to a rope and you and the other people on the same bar move back and forth trying to score. It is just like regular Foosball only bigger. I was kind of scared to go into the cage with all the other people because Peruvians know how to play soccer and I thought this would be a lot like soccer, but it was my turn to go in so I did. Let’s just say it wasn't like soccer and I am awesome at Human Foosball! I was able to get the ball and help but I didn’t ever have a chance to score because I was in the middle although I had a ton of assists! My team also ended up winning the volleyball games to so it was a really fun day!
Now onto the another combi ride to remember. You all may remember how clumsy I can be sometimes, and especially on a moving combi, so I thought I would share another funny story in my Peruvian combi riding adventure series. Rayann, Emily and I were all waiting for a combi. The combi finally came and we waved it down and started to get on it. I was the last one to get on but sometimes, or really most of the time, as soon as the last person steps on the first step of the combi they take off and are already moving. So I stepped on, the combi started moving, and I fell on my face in the combi. I was super embarrassed but at that point I figured I was already on the ground of the combi I might as well just sit on the ground in the combi. (if you do not know already that is not a normal thing to do on a combi.) There was an older lady on the combi who could not stop laughing at me on the way there, so I hope I made her day!
On a side note I also have a prayer request right now. My back has been hurting really bad! Please just keep me in prayer that it will get better quickly and I will be able to do the things that I need to get done. Thanks!
