we arrived in Peru safely and after breakfast and morning orientation we hit the building site. there was a lot of cinder blocks that had to be moved to begin with so i got a serious arm-shoulder-lower back workout. in the afternoon, we started laying grout and block for the walls. there were quite a few people on this part of the project and i’d thought that i’d try it out, but soon learned that i wasn’t very efficient in that and shifted back to moving cinder blocks which i found in the group of block movers i can do pretty well. the day ended with that “good” sore feeling after a workout. however i anticipate that to be “good” sore feeling will be a very unpleasant sore feeling tomorrow. i also anticipate that i will sleep very well tonight. maybe tomorrow i’ll volunteer for the medical and dental clinic outreach to give my underused achy muscles a break.

i am so lazy. i know i have said that i will post new pictures for a while now but i have obviously allowed other things to take priority so much so that two months go by and BAM… i’m on a plane to Peru. i, along with my dad, am participating in a Maranatha Christmas Family Project. we are there to build an educational and evangelism center at the University there. after packing all night and no sleep, my mom took my dad and i to the airport at 4:10a since our departure was at 6:25a. oh what fun! maybe that’s why i’m so sleepy on the plane. any how, i hope that the University has access for me to upload this update. otherwise, it’ll just come all at once. i’m going to catch some z’s.
