Not too much has happened since last time, but I figured I give a little love. My family has been amazing. My spanish is getting better, so I´m able to communicate better, and I´ve learned Juan knows some English so when I don´t understand, he tries in English. This always helps!
Nancy, my favorite 4 (almost 5) year old is super sick! She is a bad fever. She is ALWAYS laughing and smiling, and I can not even get her to smile or respond because she feels so horrible. The familiy does not have any medicine for her, but I have been told to keep an eye on her. I gave her half of a tylenol to see if it would lower her temperature, and I believe it made her feel a little better. I´m so scared to over medicate because she´s so small, so hopefully it will help little by little because I need my Nancy to be back to her normal crazy self! The house is so much more quiet with her sick! Cipriana, Juan, and I crawled in bed last night and watched Titanic in spanish. It was so fun because I could comprehend. Who hasn´t seen Titanic!? haha.
And our dog likes me now!!! Tarzon is his name and he hated me at the beginning because he thought I was intruding, but I tamed him one day and fed him bread, and he walks with me everywhere I go and protects me if any other dogs pretend they may attack. I´ve been told that if you pick up a rock and pretend to throw, the dogs back away anyway. This made my life that I have a dog in Bolivia!!!! He now looks at me with eyes of adoration not hatred!!! YAY!!!
We went to the center yesterday and cleaned and served lunch to the ladies, yet not many came. My team member Autumn and I helped in the kitchen and it was so much fun because they cooks, Vicki and Feli, are amazing people!!! They love the Lord and they love people! YAY! So, here´s a glimpse into my last few days!!!
Oh, and I finally won the battle of getting to wash the dishes each day after my wonderful home cooked breakfast, lunch, and dinner!!! Cipriana loves it!

So are there stray dogs everywhere? May seem like a random question, but when Billy and I were in Peru, there were dogs EVERYWHERE... I mean EVERYWHERE. Just wandering around town. It was very rare for families in our town to actually have them as pets, so the family we stayed with was one of the exceptions, as they had 2 dogs as pets. But they I think just got them off the streets.
Well. Sounds like you're having fun!
Hi Kelly -- thinking and praying for you all the time. I know what a rollercoaster it can be when so far away from home. One min your heart is being pulled to those news souls you are growing to love -in the next home seem so far away you can't stand it.
I've been praying for dear little Nancy sunbeam since I read your blog last night. Please update us if only a word or two on the little angel. I know how powerless you must feel to make her OK but God has all the power and your hands bring her HIS love. Is her fever down?
I love the fact that Tarzon has made that awesome transition. I know that with his great dog spirit he will help you through all the hard moments. Dogs have this great gift from God to quietly understand our souls and bear our burdens.
