Friday

Typical day today. We started laying bricks. Last day of VBS. Had fifty then fifty again I think. Had peanut soup for lunch with cookies y three different kinds of empanadas. Danielle was late in the morning (and she's only 28!) and so we (mom, roxianna, susanna, kailey, me) went into the school to get them and kailey got mobbed. seriously. we were taking pictures and they were all pressing up against her so much. I may post a more detailed post tomorrow, but it's already midnight. We went to roky's for dinner and ate and then did ice cream. Willie is going home Sunday morning. Kailey had a migraine. We were invited to evangelistic service tonight at the cancha. only Paul and mom went-the rest of us were too tired. They sang and Hugo preached and they showed movies...as evangelism tools. They had a lot of speakers so that the whole neighborhood could hear and come. Mom said that Brenda and Adriana and Elias and the kids were asking where we were. Tomorrow we're working part-day and same on Monday. Tuesday we're flying to Cusco at 7 in the morning...meaning that we're waking up at 3 or 4. :P The Santa Cruz airport is in the middle of a field a ways from the city. We're going to stay in a hotel in Cusco then go up to Machu Picchu on Wednesday and stay Wednesday night in Cusco then fly to Lima and from Lima to Miami Thursday. And from Miami to LA and we'll arrive at 11:00 Friday morning. And we're all planning on getting In'n'Out. :) And being able to flush toilet paper and brush my teeth with faucet water and walk on sidewalks and drive with seat belts and safety rules that are obeyed. Those are just certain aspects, but I will definitely miss the people y the language y the love y the novelty and difference. I feel completely safe here and can just enjoy the experience. People always say stuff like "I went to serve but I got served" or something and it's cliche. But it is so true. Yeah, we're building a house. But they're feeding, teaching, driving, communicating, caring for us. One nice thing, though, is that we (as a team) know more spanish than they know english. That way it's not like "Oh, we came to help you but you have to climb over the language barrier for us." I am learning so much Spanish....

Okay, yo cansado. Buenas noches.
