Adventuresss - by Alison

So Sara and I made stir fry last night, it only took us three hours! We didn´t have enough chicken so Jeremy had to go buy another chicken and it was frozen! Did I mention that we de-bone the chicken and everything? Jeremy had lunch with a guy yesterday, actually the guy who owns the hostile that we stayed at in Huancane. He said that the guy handed him something that looked and smelled like a huge lemon but it just tasted like water. The guy kept saying "mas, mas!" so Jeremy ate a ton of random foods. He said the guy showed him his favorite bible verses and then just started singing Spanish. So hilariously awkward/awesome. Jeremy said that when the man left the room he just stuffed a ton of food in his backpack so the man wouldn´t be offended that he didn´t eat it all. Its actually pretty amazing that Jeremy could understand the guys Spanish because Jeremy can barely speak Spanish himself. So today we went to the medical clinic in Conima and they ended up asking us if we wanted to ride in the ambulance. The ride in the ambulance turned into five hours, and going the three cities!! We went to a city about twenty minutes from Conima, then to Cupisaya, and then to Tilali which is basically on the border of Bolivia. It was really interesting. In Cupisaya I met an eleven year old girl named Veronnica and a three year old boy named Luis. Luis actually remembered my name and even called me by it instead of calling me gringa! It was a breath of fresh air! Jeremy and I got to do some boulder hopping too, which I think is one of my new favorite things. I´m still working hard on memorizing my story, almost got it down!! Tonight we played duck, duck, goose with the kids for a long time. That was a ton of fun. All this teenage boys are staring at me in the internet cavena and its a little awkward. That´s what I get for being a gringa! I´m off the see whats for dinner!
-Love in Christ!
