Emilia y Las Medicinas

My dad is a pharmacist. My mom is a nurse. I am not one of those people who is opposed to taking medicine. In fact, with my history of allergies, I would be in a lot of trouble if it were not for all the meds I've taken over the past few years. Having said that, I did not expect to get to try the plethora of Spanish named drugs that I've taken over the last 3 weeks. Below is a super flattering picture of me (the light is a little funky) with my latest purchase: Avamys. It is suppose to help with my crazy allergies. Pray that it works.

In other news, Travis and I went to visit our friend, Jonathan's ministry last night. Jonathan works with a mission called Pioneers, and he is starting Pioneros Perú, the Peruvian version of Pioneers. Jonathan's goal is to mobilize Peruvians to get involved with missions. We met some amazing people, and Travis made a new friend to play X-Box with. I met a college professor, and she told me that I have a Russian accent when I speak Spanish. That will be something to work on.

Travis continues to study Spanish each day, and I was totally impressed when he told a story to the group last night. There were a few errors here and there, but Travis has no fear when it comes to using what he knows.

I am helping to translate curriculum, and I should start volunteering in schools in the next few weeks. Travis is working his creative magic by expanding the lessons and brainstorming new ways to present the information. Pray for us to have wisdom and creativity as we work on curriculum.

One last thing. We are visiting different churches, and this week we will be going to one called Berea. Please pray that we will find a home church to plug into while we're here in Arequipa.
