We spent Christmas Eve at the home of Jeremy & Rebekah Hall with a bunch of other folks...American & Peruvian. It is customary to stay up until midnight and begin celebrating Christmas with fireworks and a meal. We began shooting fireworks at about 5 PM and had our meal at 10:30. At midnight we shot some more fireworks and then jumped in the VW bus to ride to a lookout where you can see the whole city. There were fireworks going off all over the city. It was fun!href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5e-faKS32GQRc6LJ-x0Z_44hX2MZkbViJWhOXM8WmoB1W2GfkzmiC5AoQqxF3aStazp6TshH8pMkdyJ-NCsp62Fr6Gu3zDWtaAb6mbTv5ErhVPGfjLZgk8pSkrQHWvVKmJ_QdAo_Hx_M/s1600-h/DSC00740.JPG">
We are Rodney, Faye, Katie & Josie. This blog is a journal view of our experiences as independent Baptist missionaries in South America. We were in Arequipa, Peru in 2009-2010 to learn Spanish. We will be very shortly leaving to establish an independent Baptist church in Merida, Venezuela.

Christmas Eve 2009
Our first Christmas on the field has been different but good. Though we were missing our family & friends back home, we enjoyed Christmas with our new friends here.
