This clearly hasn’t been my month. Third day into being in Peru, my allergies kicked in, full force, complete with loogies, all day, every day. Drinking the “filtered” water was a bad idea and trying the guinea pig, though delicious, wasn’t so kind… so much so that between nausea boughts, diaherrea, and vomitting, I laid on the cool, tile floor, hoping the forces twisting my intestines would eventually tire. Surfing produced a nice shiner on my left eye and then theres the lovely lice epidemic of 2011, the epidemic consisting of me and two others. Though its been no picnic, I have to choose joy and live this month enjoying what I can because I will never have this opportunity again. Grant it, one day I may come back to visit (or for future missionary work), but all the possibilities of growth are here and now, if I want them to be. All I have to do is choose joy.

Please please please spread the word, drop some change, light a few candles and pray! Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
P.P.S. Peter Cheang has awesome spiking skills in volleyball, to the point that he almost took out his own teammates.
