A Cold Says It All

So I knew getting sick was inevitable, except getting sick with a cold is much different than getting sick over the food...none of the food has made me sick yet, I knock on wood after I say this...but I am sadly getting a cold, I always get a cold during the winter season and well for Coracora, it is the winter season. I don´t think I slept a wink last night from running a fever, to not being able to breath, to freezing to death, to burning up, and to spending most of the night trying to keep my throat from exploding of pain...

Today, my throat is a little soothed after a hot 100% coco drink, very bitter but felt wonderful on my throat, needless to say I think I added about 10 spoon fulls of pure sugar just so that I could drink some of it...We were also suppose to play basketball today with our landlord but God is definitely watching out for me, the landlord is having to move it to Wednesday because he is going to Lima. I just hope that I am not worst by Wednesday.

The Barnabas team comes in today to check up on all that has been going on! I am very excited to get some fresh faces in here and to be reunited with some friends!

Oh please pray for a female translator or that God will bless the tongue of a woman to communicate between the women of Coracora and Albee and I...The cry of my heart is to have a woman´s Bible study for the women here and last night, we went to our usual picarones spot! Picarones is a lot like a U.S. dough-nut but they pour a syrup/tea kinda thing on it and they are so good! We go to this place every night almost. Good example: we go to this place so often that these women already have our testimonies and everything about us memorized. Last night some people came by and were asking us some questions about why we were in Coracora and other things and the women were answering the questions for us! It was absolutely amazing! Well the women who make the picarones want to start a Bible study with her sisters and her! This is the perfect ministry opportunity; however, there is no one to be able to communicate between us and them except for our male translator... My heart longs to be able to speak with these women, I am not liking the language barrier at all!

Also please pray for the health of the team, we have all kinda been passing a cold around or something of that nature...needless to say, it is my turn to have it...I am the last of the group to get it, lovely!!! Just pray that I will heal fast and that I don´t pass it on again to anyone on the team!
