Oh Hey

We interns worked a 1/2 day and headed to the mall for Internet for the rest. So I have a second to blog. So here's whats happening: I'm not really sure. Hahahaha. Its a actually true. We live day by day. Sometimes and more often hour by hour. I really enjoy it too. It means less worries and more chill go with the flow. We are trying to prepare the orphanage for the kids, who will hopefully be here by Sept. Which means CONSTRUCTION! and lots of it. We pretty much live on a construction site, which is fine by me b/c it means I don't have to "go to work" I live there!

Lately We have been painting and painting and painting and pouring concrete. Which I LOVE! Its a fun process, but a lot of hard work. 1st you add water into the mixer, then rocks, sand, a bad of cement, and more water. I get to be the driver of this big mixer! Then they line up with wheel barrels, I fill them,  and they take them over to the maestros (or craftsman) and they pour it where it is needed. We are pouring sidewalks and filling in areas so that we can walk on the concrete instead of sand and tracking it in the house and elsewhere. The painting is mainly priming so we can get color on the wall and outside of the buildings. If I ever get my camera back I just might have pictures to show you.

In South America, especially in Peru, time runs much slower. I love it most of the time, but it can also be a bit frustrating. But lets be honest, its great! It means I can focus much more on the relationships and enjoy getting to know my family here. But it also means that my broken camera may take a lot longer than expected to get fixed. But I can't complain b/c its getting fixed.

Oh heres a surprise for my mom, I've got flees. hahaha. I found 3 on me today, I blame the 3 dogs we have (Inca the mother, Chubby, the fat one and Chickle, the crazy one) but don't worry I'm sure the flees are in the house too. Hahahaha! Yakori did an awesome job cleaning the house and I finally washed my sheets for the 1st time. oh hahaha! I so enjoy living here.

Anywho, to say the least life is crazy and fun and great! Oh the stories I'll have to tell.

Until next time,
