Crunch time

Teams arrive tomorrow. Yikes. We are scurrying around here to completely finish up two upstairs rooms in the orphanage so that the Petersons (the missionary family that lives here) have a place to sleep during team season! Things are coming along, but we had a pretty late night yesterday. Tonight we can relax, so I am looking forward to that. Dave is headed to a wedding tonight for one of the Peruvian workers who is normally here, so my guess is that he will be up all night working. Double yikes! He is definitely a hard worker.

We've been having a conglomeration of food to eat down here...tonight we are having salad, rice, and eggs. Yesterday was a little more normal; we had chicken stir-fry. One of my favorites, but I put my sweat and blood into it!! I had to cut up a whole chicken, which I have only done once before. So that took me a verrrrry long time! I think it turned out ok, but next time I am definitely buying pre-packaged chicken breast! In the open markets, they only sell chickens whole...and I mean WHOLE...well, minus feathers, that is! :) But it turned out well! Good to have a little comfort food. Actually, my real comfort food is macaroni and cheese with applesauce...but I digress :)

Looks like Karina and I will also have the opportunity to work with the school/orphanage across the street. Teams will probably be going over to help them with homework, play, or be classroom assistants. I am really looking forward to it, and hopefully it is something fun to do!

Sorry for not posting more pictures! I will work on taking more...like of the apartment, the property at Hannah's, etc...So more to come!
