My beard is growing.

My beard is coming in strong! I hope that soon the locals give me a nick name. Robbie and Hayden have one, they have been growing theirs since they got here. They are usually called Jesus or Barnabas, hopefully i get something along the lines of Zeus or Mountain man.

swimming with Edgar 

Well the swimming classes are coming along. There are some days where it is hard to get the kids to focus, that is usually the 9 o'clock class. So we practice stroke for a while and then at the end play freeze tag or shark. It is pretty fun, to swim with the kids and hang out.

There are some new people here for about 2 weeks. Two fourth year medical students from Loma Linda and a Nurse. We have upped the clinic hours to 8 am , 2 pm, and 7 pm. It has been nice to have some new people around and have more clinic hours. I have been pulling some teeth this week. Thankfully they have all been pretty simple. No complications. We had a kid come in that was terrified of us. I felt his pain, when it comes to being scared of shots. He screamed and kicked we had to hold him down. I felt really bad holding his head, poor little guy.

They gave me a shot last weekend. I had some intense Diarrhea and fever. So the Doctor decided to give me a shot. For those of you that know me, you know that i have a very big fear of needles. For some reason the people of Peru don't believe in arm shots. It was a massive needle that went into my butt. It took Wendy and Taylor a lot of convincing and talking before i finally laid down and let them give it to me. I might or might have not freaked out a little. it was horrible.

Digging the hole 

I worked with Ever again, we dug a hole for a new septic tank. When i say we i actually mean EVER, i kinda just threw dirt around for a couple hours. I was talking to Russell and we decided that we probably slowed him down. I have no idea how he digs so perfectly and quickly, i am not very good at this whole digging into pure clay business.

Thats all i got right now. It has been harder to write about stuff. My dad says i should write my reflections. so i will work on that for next time. Sorry this is so short and kinda lame next one will be better. I will end with a sun set picture...cause thats my thing.
