Preparing for a Peruvian Extreme Makeover

I am getting ready to leave for a trip to Lima, Peru. 32 people from our church will be doing an extreme makeover on an orphanage there. The house is home to 23 girls and is badly in need of some attention. The plan is to go in on Thursday morning, clean out spaces, access the situation, decide what needs the most work, and then get supplies. The local hardware store is going to get a lot of business. We are keeping it a secret from the girls until Sunday afternoon. In order to keep them away, we are sending them to "camp"; a local area where half of our team will be hosting three fun filled days and evenings of crafts, games, and team building.
Tune in each evening to get pictures and info from the days activities, and home improvement ventures.
Remember to keep us in your prayers. This is a big undertaking. It's a good thing that the God we serve is awesome at performing miracles.

This will be fun to "go with you" to help beautify the girls' living space.
