i´m better now...

...thanks for your prayers. i´m gonna try to get some pictures up soon. though i´m fully enjoying being here, i´m starting to get pretty homesick. eating sushi, while playing with my nephew, & listening to a pastor Alec sermon would really hit the spot right now. ¡ciao!

please pray for me!

for the past 2 days ive had the worst food poisoning of my life. the other american guy down here (daniel) had it w/ me for about the 1st 30 hrs. & even had a fever, but seems to be better now. it hurts & the peoples stomaches here have higher tolerances for microbes in food, so this could easily happen again later. we're still not exactly sure which food caused it. thank you

sorry it took so long...

...to post something new on here. i thought the website was trippin but i was entering my password wrong because of the spanish keyboard. it´s really different down here, the people are the most humble i´ve met. so far the foundation of the 2 new homes have been bricked & it looks like we`ll be pouring floors soon. other than that we´ve helped dig a well, cleaned & re-painted inside the old folks home, helped till & plant some new vegetable farms (so now i have an actual farmers tan), & the remainder of my time is spent playing with & talking to the kids in the orphanage i`m staying in...there`s about 15-20 kids from ages 5-17, 2 boys the rest girls. i don`t have much spare time, but i`m gonna try to get on here semi-often & throw sum pics up when i can. gotta go, lunch is over. love yall!
