Rap music and Phenergan

Well dear readers...
1. I felt a lot like Ann Landers writing that.
2. Have Mary and I ever told you that they play crazy American rap music in the internet cafe we go to? Because they do.
3. I have unexpectedly found myself with some extra internet time today. As Mary said earlier, we were supposed to go back to our families this afternoon...however....as Mary was typing she pretty much crashed on me and we had to head back to the hotel room. There she proceeded to get sick (N-V-D kind of sick). I did what a good PA would do and gave her drugs and called the doctor. I also bought her some crackers and the coldest Sprite-like drink I could find. Right now she is kind of knocked out from the Phenergan and I got a little restless, so I took a break. But if you could all pray for her, we would both appreciate it. Mary has pretty much been sick since we got here with some sort of Super Allergy Attack and it seems only to be worsening. I know she isn´t enjoying it, but it is also heartbreaking to watch her be sick and not be able to fix her. Honestly, Mary has been somewhat of an anchor for me on this trip. I don´t know what I would do without her - other than cry. She has constantly been encouraging, uplifting, someone to laugh with and someone to share doubts and fears with. I thank God for blessing me with her friendship and I think you should all know what an amazing person she is.
4. Also during some unexpected down time I started reading my Bible. Isn´t amazing the way that God can speak to you today through his word? As I have shared on here, I have recently been thinking a lot about my future and worrying about what I should do, where I should go etc... Well, today I opened my Bible to Romans and read this passage ¨Those who live as the Spirit tells them to, have their minds controlled by what the Spirit wants¨ How comforting is that? I was instantly comforted. I also read some about how there is nothing on this earth or in the spiritual world that has the ability to separate us from the love of God. I love being able to read and find passages that rephrase concepts that I feel like I already know.
5. I will try later to post pictures of the Giant Cow in the tiny truck. I also got a great shot of Mary´s Awesomely 80´s hair.

Ok, I really want to see the cow in the truck. Secondly, I am so glad that the Guatemalans get some exposure to the rap genre of music. It can be so awe-inspiring. :)
Mary, I hope you feel better.
I wished I were back in Guatemala several times today.
