Peru 2015 Team

Peru 2015 Team

October 30, 2015

 The team has returned from Peru safe and sound! After wrapping things up at the hospital and discussing future missions with the leadership we flew from Trujillo to Lima. We spent Saturday getting to know more about Peruvian culture in the capital - including a visit to the Lima Art Museum and watching a dance performance before heading to the airport for our overnight flight. As we go back to our home life we are thankful for this opportunity to participate in a mission with such a wonderful group of people as well as for all the support we received from those back home!
