I know theres a couple nurses out there that might be reading this.. so read this and leave a comment please
For a couple days I have had a pretty bad fever and getting chills, sometimes waking up at night sweating. I wasn't sure what to do so I just prayed and asked God whats up and wouldn't you know it... I woke up today and walked over to the orphanage and right next door they are having a free medicine give away for all the people in the area. So I stood in line told them what was up and this is what they gave me..
Bactrim - it is 2 bottles of anti-biotics in liquid form. And he told me to take 2 spoonfulls every 2 hours until the bottles are gone. The doctor also said something about not eating chicken. So I was wondering if he thought I might have gotten salmanila poisoning.
I looked it up on the web and it looked like what I needed but just wanted a second opinion. Thanks!
God bless

Happy Freedom Day!
Well, besides from being Awesome day, 4th of July is also teacher day in Peru. So this afternoon the kids put together a big party for all the teachers. There were jokes, dances, junk food and games. There was a sack hopping relay where there was a student and a teacher on each team. Nicolas and I destroyed everyone. Then there was an eating contest, and I won that too, but I will admit the kids gave me a smaller portion.
Matt made an awesome shirt for 4th of July, he just colored USA RULES on the front of a white t-shirt, the wrote FREEDOM on the back, drew and american flag on one sleeve, and an eagle on the other. Our plans to finish up our 4th of July celebration is to go to the most American resturant here which is a Pizza place that caters to all the surfers in the summer, then we are going to watch the movie The Patriot. Some people blow up some really loud fireworks almost every night so we are going to try and find those and light a couple off.
I have a couple prayer requests...
Gerson is really sick with some sort of cough, and they haven't been able to take him to the doctors yet because the house moms are really busy. Also his sister Betsy is really sick too.

Thanks
First of all I just wanted to say thanks to all the people back home. I received some more cards today one from the Skeen family, Rothaus family, Kirk family, Joey and a couple cards from my family. Also thanks to all the people who read this blog and all the people who leave comments. It really encourages me to know that people back home care about what I’m doing, or a better way to put it… what God is doing through me.
We went to another church in Pacasmayo last night that we were invited too because an American missionary was preaching there. He had a really awesome message using a story I had never heard before that is found in Genesis 26. It talks about how God had blessed Isaac and made him rich, so the Philistines decided to clog up all his wells, and then told him to leave. Isaac moved and re-dug all the wells. Then sometime later the Philistines came back to him and wanted to make an agreement to join forces because they had seen God was with him. The preacher then made the metaphor that wells are constant water supply or living water, just like the holy spirit in us is a spring of living water and that sometimes we get our “well” clogged up by others, or even ourselves, and that when we unclog the Holy spirit within us people will see that God is with us… ok I’m realizing it loses a little bit when I try to type it out in my own words, but you get the drift. It was a really awesome sermon and something that I needed to hear. Anyway after the sermon he came up to me and told me that I looked really familiar to him, and asked if I had been to Peru before, I said I had. Then he realized where he’s saw me, my blog. Funny how things work out. Anyway we talked for a little bit and he told me about the ministry he is apart of, they are all over the world, then he asked me if I’d ever want to join him…who knows maybe another adventure is right around the corner, haha.
P.S.
I have a lot of information I want to share with everyone (not related to the pastor that goes all over the world, don’t worry mom), but it is too soon to share.

Today was the second day of teaching... its going alright, a little crazy still but alright. They are starting to realize I'm a little bit more strict than the old english teacher, so things should get under control in the next couple days. Ok, I've got a birthday party to run too, I'll post about that later.
Here is a video tour of where we are living. Cinder blocks and concrete floors is about it. I'm not complaining though because most people around here have dirt floors and thatch roofs, if they have a roof. I'll add some more video tours in the future.
