After working with the adorable kids at Kanchay Wasi (which is amazing),
I went to the internet cafe to attempt to use Skype again. I finally got it working and made a couple phone calls, messed around online a bit, hung out with another volunteer and headed back to my house at 7:30-ish. I could've sworn that Marta said she'd be cooking late, around 8 or 9 because she had a lot to do, but she had dinner ready at 7. Ugh. Miscommunication is pretty easy with my lack of spanish. But...I was late, and she was a bit offended. It's fine, but I felt really really bad. I guess she had went looking for me and everything.It's okay though. But then. She had made a brocolli omelette for dinner. For those of you who know me, I can't eat a ton of egg. It was choked down. And it was really really hard to do. But I did it. Because I had already offended her once that night, and I didn't want to do it again.
I got to bed super-early because for some reason I was pretty tired and I woke up around 4 after a pretty crappy nightmare (I don't normally dream either). And then I realized I felt like crap. I was up on and off until about 7:30 this morning and I still feel pretty sick.
I've been hanging out with the other volunteers, painting furniture for some classroom which has been fun and I've been feeling okay on and off. I just hope it doesn't last too long.
About half of them are going on a hike up the mountain which I'm missing because I'm not sure I could make it. =/ I'll probably go back and sleep, stuff down another meal, and hopefully go out with everyone later.
Disclaimer: I never get sick, so I'm a total baby when I do. I'm really fine.
And! I have some gigantic party/parade to look forward to tomorrow. =]
Later loves.

Hey Kelsey! I hope you feel better! Being sick is no fun!
I completely agree with your comment about integrating Jesus into every part of our life, not just the good parts. It is often hard to include him into the "messy" parts of our lives, when that is where we need him the most. It sounds like you are learning a lot there. :)
Can I just say, I love you and miss you so much. Since summer is here I keep thinking about camp and you!
LOVE YOU, you are AMAZING! :)

amiga-
Ud. es tan gran! estoy agradecido para tu porque estoy preocupado ir a Quito en dos semanas. Sus palabras traigan esperanza a mi.
" porque yo se muy bien los planes que tengo para ustedes. Planes de bienestar y no calamidad, a fin de darles un futuro y una esperanza." Jeremias 29:11
as you can tell, I have quite a bit of spanish to practice before I leave. you are such an encouragement to me. keep working hard and know that God is with you and He's looking upon all you do and he sees it is good. it is fulfilling of his purpose for you. y Dios considero que esto era bueno. genesis 1: 10
I leave in 2 weeks!!!!
Kelsey! I really hope you feel better and I'm really sorry about your day... I can only imagine how you felt, and how hard it is to communicate over it all.
I just thought I should let you know that your mom, Tom, my parents and my sister went to Villa for dinner. Quit laughing, I'm serious and I'm sure one day you'll hear the awkward details...
I leave for New Mexico in seven hours! Hopefully we'll talk sometime soon. Have fun with the parade, maybe sneak a few pictures! =]
