I arrived home yesterday at like noon. My family and I went and ate at Mexican Inn but I didn't eat much because I was feeling sick to my stomach! My sister and I went to the movies last night and it was thirteen dollars per person for a 3-D movie! Can you believe that!? My sister ended up paying for half of my ticket because I refused to pay that much. I feel like I've become a Peruvian, everything is so expensive here! Today has been interesting, its been hard for me to get used to the luxuries of America. Every time I flush toilet paper down the toilet I feel guilty and have to remind myself that the toilet will not overflow. This is just one of the many things that have been throwing me off. I was shocked last night when I took a shower and the water got hot so fast! And don't even get me started on this Texas heat, oh Lordy! I have to go sign up for classes since all mine got dropped while I was away!

Home
We leave today for home, it feels so strange to say that! Sorry that I haven´t updated this in so long, I`ve just been having so much fun in Puno! It was very hard to leave Conima, especially the children considering that they were holding onto my shirt begging me not to go! We have had so much fun in Puno and have been staying at a really nice hotel which is a nice change! We took a tour of the floating reed islands, that was awesome! Yesterday we went and saw some Incan ruins, tombs of their ancestors. The food here is so awesome too! I have to admit that I am excited and ready to be home, especially since I`ll only be home for two days before leaving again! We will land around noon tomorrow. Please be praying for our safety!

Swimmin´ in Lake Titicaca
Sorry that I haven´t been writting much in my blog lately everyone, its not because a lot hasn´t been going on...its because so much has been going on! No, but really! I am back in Conima...I came back wed. morning. It feels so good to be back, I missed this place! God has really been working here, keep praying everyone! I can´t believe we leave Monday morning for Huancane for two days, and then Puno, and then home! I have so many mixed emotions, its ridiculous. I´m excited to go home to see everyone but I have honestly fallen in love with this place. Its going to be especially hard to leave the kids, for us and for them. Yesterday was a series of let downs...we had three storying dates with people and they all got canceled BUT Jeremy L. and I got to go story with the police officers this morning. I told them the story of Noah and the Ark and Jeremy L. told them the story of the Ten Commandments and then Kelsey and Jeremy L. are going back at 5:00 p:m to story with them again! We are also storying with Sophia tonight and Armando at the English lesson. And then at 7:00 p:m we have group storying and Pablo (on of the construction workers here) is telling Peter´s Sermon tonight! It will be his second time, God is really working in him. Everyone pray for Pablo! Today has been crazy busy, we have to finish the race strong! So yesterday we totally went swimming in Lake Titicaca with some kids. Actually it was the Jeremys, a bunch of kids, and me. Heather and Kelsey waded in the water but they didn´t want to get soaked. It was freeeezzzzinggg but so freeing! I´m off to prepare and pray for this busy evening, you should do the same! Pray for us that is! Keep Emily in your prayers as well...she has a doctors appointment in Lima today.
