I have been sick for the past two days. At night, I can hardly breath (part of that has to do with the high altitude and thin air). I missed the prayer meeting last night and the kids' club this afternoon. I was disappointed, but I've got to rest and try to get better.
I am hoping I will be well by next week in time to go with Arthur on a medical team. He will be leaving either Wednesday or Thursday and returning Saturday, June 23. If I go, I'll be translating. That should be interesting since I don't know hardly any medical Spanish. Arthur said it will be mostly Spanish to English, and that's what I'm better at, so I'm excited.
It is sooo cold here. Since I am cold-natured anyway, I have been quite chilly. I was not exactly expecting these temperatures. At night and in the morning, it will drop to the 30s and sometimes 20s! By mid-morning, if you stand in the sun, you will get warmed through pretty fast. At times, there seems to be a 30 degree difference between the shade and sunny areas. There are no heaters either so I wear about 4 layers every day. So far, I haven't been hot (I should say warm) even once, even though the day time temperatures reach to the 60s. It is also the dry season, so it is definitely different than steamy Georgia in the summer!
I greatly appreciate all of the prayers that are coming my way. May God bless you!
This is a short record of my experiences while ministering in Huancayo, Peru. Hopefully, it will help to keep you all, my family and friends, updated on my needs and thoughts while I am away. I will be departing on May 28, 2007 and returning August 11, 2007. I am so excited about God's purpose and plan!!!! ~ Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations... teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Matthew 28:19-20~

Hey, Sallie!!!! Wowie! It is beautiful there, and the kids you have been working with are cuties!! I just got all caught-up on your adventures--sounds great what God's doing. I am so happy for you; I know God's going to do some awesome stuff in and through you this summer. You have such an evident passion for God, compassion for others, and a sweet, yielded spirit--He certainly has good plans for you (Jer. 29:11-13); so bask in His love, continue to ground yourself in His Truth, and embrace these adventures He has in store! Looking forward to hearing what else He does this summer! May He continue to guide, to direct, to confirm, and to provide for all you need in your calling. God bless, my friend! Praying for you!
Love in Christ,
Heidi:)
