Mission Peru

by Sam Rankin, Bolton Alliance Church

Hey everyone! My name is Sam Rankin, I am associated with Bolton Alliance Church and I am so excited to be participating in this year’s Mission Peru trip! Today we arrived at the Inca Link compound after spending the last day or so travelling. The first leg of our trip was on an 8 hour plane ride from Toronto to Lima. We were blessed with a safe flight with only a bit of turbulence. The plane ride was full of laughter and happy chatter and I think I can speak for everyone when I say we were all too excited to sleep.  Afterward, we got on a bus and drove 9 hours to the Inca Link compound in Trujillo. Eventually, the lack of sleep caught up with us and a lot of the bus ride was spent catching up on rest. Once we got to the compound, we were greeted with smiling faces and a great lunch as we were introduced to the amazing interns and staff. After lunch we had an orientation meeting and were given a general idea what we would be participating in over the next few days. I can’t wait for tomorrow to come so that I can contribute to this wonderful mission!
