Saturday night we had dinner with one of our Spanish teachers and her boyfriend. Norka has become a really good friend over the past few months.

We had agreed that they would come over at 7:30pm for dinner. And, in proper peruvian fashion, they showed up at around 8:15pm. But it went great! For one thing, it wasn’t work. Sometimes it’s just really hard to ‘hang out’ with peruvians . . . because we are americans and they are peruvians. But we all seemed to click. And the language issue was almost a non-issue.

We learned that Alfredo (Norka’s boyfriend) had been studying to be a priest in the Catholic church. He became disillusioned with the corruption and left Catholicism. He said “Ahora, estoy buscando.” [Now, I'm searching.]

We were able to tell him a lot about why we are here and the differences between Catholicism and Evangelicalism. We are getting together next weekend for some beach fishing.
