Preparing for Peru

this is my first official "blogging" experience. please bare with me :)

as most of you all know we (andy turner, josh corrick, and i) are preparing to take a little trip down to south america. matucana, peru to be exact. we are starting to meet on a weekly basis to practice our stories and attempt to cover all we need to know before we go down there for 10 weeks. mr. dennis and ms. cheryl brown have just gotten back from their 3rd trip down to that area and have been hosting our meetings at their house. they have been giving us the in's and out's of matucana from their experiences there. special thanks to mr. dennis' amazing organizational skills. without him i wouldn't feel nearly as confident as i do about leaving the states for over 2 months. he covers every detail!
we decided to keep this blog to be able to update you all as much as possible. we'll attempt to post at least once a week in as much detail as possible. that means it could be as simple as prayer requests to a page with pictures and all! we shall see. i know there is an internet cafe' there in the town but i am unsure of it's reliability.
thank you in advance for all your prayers and support! we have each seen God work in all areas of this trip so far and you all have really stepped up. it's astonishing!
