Making new friends is usually a welcomed experience, however in just under two weeks I’ve happened to make some of the poorest choices in friends…
My two new pals (Let’s call them Parry and Sal), Are the type of friends, that every time they’re around, they make you feel… well… uneasy. I can’t remember the exact moment we became such close friends (I believe we bonded over an apple in a village), but ever since I’ve meet them life has been hard, and uncomfortable. They’ve discouraged me from going to ministry, and make me want to hideaway in my room. Ever since we’ve started hanging out they won’t leave me alone, they feel almost joint to me (Creepy I know). Worst of all they’ve made me unapproachable. After spending time with them I get kinda grumpy, and my head aches, to be honest my new friends are exhausting! No one wants to be around me when I have them around. I don’t understand, and am getting a little fed up! I thought I could trust them, but I guess with friends like these it’s always a gamble. I ask them nicely to leave, or try to ignore them, but that makes it far far worse. The other day I decided it was time to meet with some wise council. After a few hours or so of explaining my predicament, and even a few tests, they deemed it imperative that I kill them. It seemed a bit harsh to me, but they quickly explained that the type of friend group I had gotten myself into was not only unhealthy, but ran the risk of drawing more of a bad crowd. So they gave me a plan and a means to “rid” myself of my new friends. After careful planning and a ridiculous amount of money (hit men are expensive these days) I’m happy to announce that they should be dead by tomorrow. It may seem like a tragedy, but it was high time that they were gone. This has been the most toxic and poisonous relationship I’ve had to date. So really it had to happen. All this to say, I will never, NEVER, become friends with a Parasite or Salmonella again! That is all.
On another note, life here in Guatamala has been amazing (despite some of my friendship choices). A more detailed update is coming soon, but I hope this did a good job of tying you over until then!! I love you all so much, and happy to announce that I am on my way to a fast and full recovery!
