Suffering for Jesus?

I just thought this was worthy of mentioning...

Becky and I have been extremely grateful that God has kept us healthy while we've been here at the Oasis. We didn't really realize how grateful we were until we had to be tia's in the green house one weekend and saw the meat for lunch just sitting on the counter. Raw beef, with raw chicken ON TOP OF IT, just sitting on the counter. It had already been there for a good 15 hours or so. That seems... sanitary. And then we experienced the art of "less is more" by skipping the use of plates and bowls as much as possible and just putting everything directly on the grates in the fridge, grates in the oven, and directly on the spinny-wheel thingy in the microwave. How often are they santized? Unknown. Vegetables and fruits? Unwashed. Bring it on. Stomachs of steel.

Oscar came up on Thursday to play with the girls for the afternoon. He stayed to eat dinner in the blue house with me and my ninas - and turns out this "true Guatemalan" got sick. He's pretty much a gringo. And we'll probably never let him live it down.

Oh, also. We have fleas. And I'm not talking fleas in the grass - straight up FLEA INFESTED APARTMENT. We are covered head to toe in this wonderful little itchy bumps. But in all honesty, we love our little cozy apartment and wouldn't change it for the world.

And all of the girls have lice... so it's really only a matter of time.

We love Guatemala :)

The CAM interns at CAM's Thanksgiving lunch extravaganza. It was awesome.
