Yesterday was a Catholic holiday all througout South America which means that most Peruvians get the day off. Whenever there is a holiday here a couple people from the Church go to a retreat site just outside of Lima. It was an incredible experience. We were able to spend some quality time playing soccer, eating, and enjoying live music. The Onofre's acompanied us out to the site. The father Cesar is a leader in the Church and also a brain surgeon. His wife and daughter are both named Gladys, they both have a quiet spirit about them. Miguel, the youngest son, is one of the guys i have become closest to on this trip. He is studying to take the entrance exam to be accepted to college. I am excited to get to know him better. The retreat was a full day event. I have attached a video to hopefully show a glimpse of the experience because i think words can't do it justice. Next week Jeremy and I are hoping that we can get in contact with the orphanage the church is a part of to help out there. Enjoy the video.
