| Weird , or should I say "different?" Hot Dogs. |
Hipe - so I feel like it has been a long time since I have written, I guess it's cuz life feels so strange right now. Why? I don't know. Maybe because I am going to Peru in TWO DAYS!!!! Holy toledo I am pumped to get to be with two of my best friends in the entire (literally) world! Dennis and Betty - oh yeah! I also get to visit a friend in Piura named Erin, I went through school (grades 7 - 11) with her, and it's been a good year or two since we've been in the hick village of Valleyview, attempting to climb on top of Hillside High School because there is nothing else to do. Booyah Hickview - ahhhh the memories of a rebel-filled adolescence. Not that I wish I could take back some of those years in Valleyview, but I wish I could take them back. But I guess we learn from our mistakes. At any rate, I am very excited to see Erin and reminisce about the ole days... Crazy to go from Valleyview to Peru with someone. These last days here in Bogota have been cool - we've had some much needed and loved sunshine, and I have had some good times - riding the bus sola, I finished at ECA on Friday, bought my first CD in Spanish, and the other day... went for hot dogs with a bunch of the youth from Dios Es Amor for Gina's birthday. They were strange I gotta say - but somehow very tasty. Some of you will remember the hamburgers in Peru... well, this was kinda a hot dog with all the stuff the hamburger had: crispy little fry things, salsa rosada, salsa de piña (I think??? It was yellow, and usually that is this pineapple stuff...), lettuce, onions, cheeze, etc... I liked it, but the whole time was thinking, "well this is interesting..." Perro Caliente, Colombian style! Will the experiences never end? I hope not.
PRAYER REQUESTS:
- MIJUCO begins in 22 days (I think, more or less) - pray that everything would come together, that final prep's would be smooth, and that participants would commit to the program, etc...
- For my visa situation. I am going to peru primarily to apply for a different visa - pray that God's will would be made clear.
- For my travels in Peru, much time will be spent on buses alone so that all of those arrangements and travels could be smooth would be awesome!
- For Paula, that she wouldn't be too lonely y triste sin mi =) |
