Hola!
Buenas dias!
Today I was supposed to go to Trujillo with everyone but I just wasn't feeling well enough to go. I seriously used a whole roll of toilet paper yesterday from blowing my nose so much. It may be a sinus infection. Jan and Cherry loaded me up with medicine and Kevin got me a load of vitamin C and I am going to rest today because I have a headache and queasy feeling and stuff. No bueno.
But I know that I will be fine and healed in the name of Jesus.
Let's back track a bit.
Wednesday I began working individually with students to help them catch up.
I have been doing the usual, eating lunch with the kids and helping with homework.
I read some of my book and then we had Bible study at 7:30. It was fun.
Thursday night was missionary night and we had chicken and meat and it was the best I have eaten here. I actually ate it with bbq sauce. ha ha! And then we had yummy dessert. So that was exciting. We played Skip-Bo which made me think of times when we were kids.
Friday I worked on my paper which is almost complete, don't worry, it is not due until Sunday. And I watched a movie with the ladies.
They have flying crickets here. Not just hop around crickets but flying ones. ick!
I haven't really had much problems except with ants. Ate up my cookies :(
I really am starting to form relationships with the kids and the house mothers, as well as Jan, Cherry, and Gabby. So that is good. Jan and Cherry are like mothers to me.
Avis, the founder, will be here on Thursday, along with some other volunteers who will be staying with me.
My sunburn is fading so that's always good and so far it hasn't peeled. That's exciting, ha ha.
I am going to start helping with the kids on Saturday afternoons at church but not today since I am sick. Sunday we have church and then we are going fishing. Sorry I never went with you guys (Joey, Nate).
Nothing really too exciting for you guys probably to hear, except you would be surprised at how I have handled eating the food. Because yes, it is chicken and rice everyday, but it is is chicken and rice with very interesting sauces or seasonings on them that have unique flavors. I am impressed with myself. And I am very grateful that they let me eat with them.
I really need to go shopping for food because I am just about out but today is not the day. Jan and Cherry are going to pick up a few things for me in Trujillo since I am not going today.
I guess I mainly write all of these things on here even though it is not much to say because I am anxious to hear from you, to talk with you guys, because I don't really have someone my age that is a female to form a close friendship with. I have my somewhat mentors and the younger kids but yeah.
I guess God is just teaching me to rely completely on Him. Which isn't bad at all.

Hey Rita, it's Momma. I'm soo glad to hear from you. I pray you feel better soon! It may just be the common cold, unless you are running a constant fever. I'm still in school, so I rush home daily to see if you have blogged! But I really don't expect it every day...I feel blessed to at least have some connection. When you all have traveled before, I felt so disconnected and a littl anxious. This is great! Sounds like you are staying on top of everything (papers!) and that is awesome to hear. I know it is tough. Thank the good Lord that you love to read!! And I mean that literally! Tell everyone that I am so thankful that they are taking care of my girl...it is deeply appreaciated! I'm loving you and praying for you.
