estoy aqui

hey everyone, i am alive and well in bolivia. after a day of altitude sickness i am back to normal, por fin! (finally)
the trip has been great so far. we´ve had a lot of fun as a host staff preparing for the first team. they came in friday when i was sick in bed, but since then i´ve have a good time catching up with the returning crew from last year and meeting the new team members. they are here from Christ Fellowship in Royal Plm Beach... right around the corner from me at home. They have some doctors and dentists here to work with the boys. I´m hoping for a lot of good things from this team!
Some quick shoutouts (did i really just use that term?!) since i don´t have a whole lot of time:
pino, julie fuselier, and jon wolf... in my day of sickness, you all came to visit me. i know i was dreaming and in a state of somewhat loopiness but each of you came to see me and ask how i was doing. i truly believe that God speaks to us in dreams, and i think that was His way of reminding me that people are out there caring about me even if they don´t know exactly why or how. Thanks!
Caleb, one of our hosts, Andy, reminds me a lot of you. if you can´t be here in bolivia enjoying this, at least i have someone here to laugh and talk with like you!
Tay - sorry you look funny, but i´m glad you better! :)
FBCRPB - i can´t wait to see you in a couple weeks. please don´t make a big deal out of my birthday. i think i mentioned that before, but just to be sure, if you want to do something, don´t make it huge. this summer is not about me...it´s about HIM! :)
mom and dad a- i´m probably not going to call this week, this is a small team and i don´t know if i´ll get to a phone. i love you both and will talk to you soon! make sure you have your phones around this time on sundays!!!
everyone else, thanks for your prayers. keep them up. the boys are struggling with a lot of spiritual warfare... eight year olds sould not be dealing with depression and we have several who are. some of these boys are really struggling and they need all the prayer they can get. also pray for our teams as they come through. there is work to be done and they need strength to make it!
love to you all! until next week!
