arrived in Tacna!

After a full day of traveling we have finally arrived in Tacna! The missionaries and hosts are all so kind. Most of them only speak Spanish so I have never been so thankful for a required class in my life. I am not very good but I feel like I can slightly communicate. I am terrible at comprehending it though so when I speak and they speak back I feel awful when I can't keep the conversation. Pray that language will not be a barrier! Tacna is much more calm than Cusco and I am loving it. This country is so beautiful and has so many interesting characteristics. For example, they have tons of stray dogs! So many of them I wish I could cuddle with and take home with me, unfortunately touching them does not seem appealing to me as they have been roaming in who knows what. But it would still be great to keep one :) there is a stray outside my hosts home who they have lovingly named George. He's adorable! Tomorrow we officially begin our "mission"! :)
