Family and Friends,
This week has been one of the harder ones in
Santa Barbra. We had to stay inside all week because I got a virus
called Chikungunya. It has hit a lot of people here in Honduras, and I
think in central America because it is passed through mosquitoes. I had
pain in my muscles, headache, fever, etc. until I could get an IV from a
doctor. the doctor we went to wasn't too bad, he put in an IV and I felt
much better afterward. Although I was a bit skeptical because he put in
a medicine to kill the fever and I almost freaked out because it made
me sweat a lot, but it worked and I am fine now so its all good.

The
temperatures here are at a high, as I am sure they are in AZ, and it is
rough! I wonder how some people can sit in their hot houses all day and
just cook tortillas. I think they like the heat a little more that I
do, but it is a good challenge. The only thing that bugs me is that I am
never not sweaty! ha ha I could have all the fans in the world and as
long as I am here, I will be sweaty.

Other than that, I have gained a
little more confidence in my Spanish speaking abilities, Although I
still have a far ways to go. I wish I had more exciting experiences this
week but suffering in the heat with a jungle virus is about as exciting
as it gets this week.
I love you guys and I am so thankful for your prayers!
Love
