It's colder inside the house than it is outside.

It feels sort of like the rush will never end. Every morning, we're up early and every night, we're up late and during the day in between we're going non-stop, physically, spiritually, emotionally. It's hard to keep up. Plus, Chileans speak really really fast, and all at the same time when they're in groups, and it's hard to understand. I feel left out a lot of the time because I can't keep up with the conversation. But I have had a chance to talk one-on-one with a couple of them, and that has been really awesome.

There are so many kids here! And they are really eager to learn what we have to teach. The Chilean team brought crafts with them that are reminders of the bible stories we tell during the presentations in the plazas. One is about how Jesus fed the 5000 with just a little bit of bread and fish, and the other is about Jesus walking on the water. It's fun to watch the kids as they watch the stories acted out, and to see them do the crafts with us...it's like they've never used crayons before. Maybe some of them haven't, I have no idea.

Daniel, one of the Chilean team, is in the hospital. He had fluid in his lungs a few days ago. He couldn't breathe. Apparently he had had an infection before he came to Cuzco, but it got better...but being here, dancing, singing, jumping, climbing steps, walking everywhere in high altitude...it came back even worse. They want to keep him in the hospital three days. And that's not a fun place to be. It's actually kind of a scary place to be. Please keep Daniel in your prayers. They also think now that he might have a heart problem as well.

Since Daniel has been getting rest and care (sort of) in the hospital, Everybody has been doing everything, plus what Daniel usually does...We've even asked a couple of the youth that come to bible studies with us to come help out, doing puppets and stuff. I wish it were under different circumstances, but I'm glad that they are getting involved. Cesar and his friend Jose have been helping us a lot. I learned Daniel's part in the drama that the team brought to perform for the adults and youth in the crowd. Yes...that's right...I play Satan. I know, I know, type-casting, right? Spare me your lame jokes. Or don't. They're probably funny. Just no lame jokes, ok? Because that will irritate me. And everyone else who reads them. Only funny jokes allowed. Anyway, it's been fun. I hope he gets better soon though, so he can be back, working with us again. By the way, no, I did not wear the vanguard sweatshirt on purpose to play Satan, but now that I think about it...kind of fitting, no?
