Arequipa

We’ve been in Arequipa for 3 full days now. I spent all of Friday sleeping. I thought I was better today and was very excited, but I had a relapse. So unfortunately I’m still sick, maybe slowly getting better, but not quick enough.

Will and I took this week off to recuperate, which was needed since I’m still not better and he is a little sick as well. We’re a little bored since we’ve already developed a routine of him coming over for lunch and hanging out with me until dinner and then going home. Yesterday I couldn’t really go out for very long, but today we were out all day, exploring Arequipa, our new home.

We’re leaving for Ilo, Peru around Friday, I think. We’re going to have a different director for this mission than we had for the last. Hopefully I feel better soon because I don’t really want to show up sick – granted at least there will be a lot of doctors there. I’ll write soon. I now have a notebook so I can write whenever I want!

Also, we have cell phones now, which is good so now we contact each other :)

PS I’m afraid my computer might be broken for good – but who knows, it sometimes surprises me. But I have a notebook, my host mom has a good computer, and there are internet cafes which are super cheap. And Will has a computer as well. So I’ll make it.
