Peru

So I just got back from Peru yesterday. Extreme Response took a team from Canada to another Remanso in Trujillo and we helped construct part of an unfinished church there. The place was called New Jerusalem and we were building on sand, which was challenging. We did a lot of work but mostly pouring foundation and it kinda looked worse once we left than when we started! LOL. But it was the hardest part so hopefully they'll (the church members in Peru) be able to do the rest before the group comes back to finish it next year. They almost finished to roof, so all in all it was a successful week.

I've been sick for the last four days, but what else is new?

I've been doing a lot of praying and soul searching to see exactly what God wants me to do here with the challenges I'm facing while teaching English. So far I haven't gotten any answers, so I'm just hanging in there and looking for ways to use gifts I do have and incorporated them into my teaching. So hopefully I'll have peace or direction. I pray I can at least make it the rest of the new quarter with out going insane, just three more months!

Other than that life goes on the same here, lots of adjustments. Getting use to doing things illogically or the slow way... well I don't know if I ever will really get used to it, but I try to be patient at least. And I still hate 5:30 a.m. LOL.
