July 1, 2008
Ok, so first off...Wara was in Santa Cruz this whole weekend.
Friday, I was finally feeling better (been sick all last week) and hung out with the volunteers all day. Helped out at an orphanage with two other volunteers. A lot of fun.
Saturday, I did some house work and then went to Patita's grandparents' house for lunch and then back to her's with my sleepover bag and laundry....hehehe.
Saturday night, I went to my first 'boy girl party'...haha lol....the usual college party stuff...smoke, beer, cake, and almost fights....ok so i have NO idea if that's 'usual' cuz I've never been to one...just seen 'em on TV!!! LOL
Sunday, went to the Capilla for the last time.
After church, I went out to eat some silpancho at this nice restaurant before the futbol game. The game was Aurora (Cbba team) vs. WILSTERMAN (Cbba team as well)!! I thought it would be a lot more full since it's Cbba vs. Cbba. but it wasn't that full! Anyway, I was for WILSTERMAN! and the 7 other volunteers that I met up with there were for Aurora. Shame on them!!!! Because one of the doctors (the Gastroenterologist at that!!:)) was the medic for WILSTERMAN!!!! how dare they!!! haha lol Plus, I bought this amazing cheap jersey shirt and cool joker hat...
ok so Aurora won...but still WILSTERMAN IS THE BEST!!!!!! :):):):)
but anyway no one cares!!! haha
yeah so afterward i was able to show the volunteers what ever was left of sunday night...as most of the city is dead at that time....so we went to Brazilian coffee and had their last 5 coxhinhas!!! YUM!
Then, we called don mauel (the HOH trufi driver) and he picked us up. On our way back to the HOH, we saw this huge fire on one of the mountains. and I asked where it was hoping and praying it wasn't my fav. park.....it was! Parque Tunari was on fire!!!!:(
I wish I had a picture of that fire...it was huge, and we were miles away!
at the same time he told me it was my park....I remembered that I had left my brand new wilsterman hat at the cafe!!!! booo
Anyway, life moved on and I will always remember that hat....:)
Monday morning came and I headed to the hospital (HOH by the way).
After work, a few girls wanted to call home and I went with them to show them a cheaper place...Bs. 4 vs. Bs. .50!!! yeah...
Well, I ended up calling Sarah for an hour and a half, and then spending two hours online.....anyway, I went to a store nearby and then headed out.....well tried to.
As I walked out of the store I saw a trufi and I wanted to grab that one....so I rushed to the corner and FELL!!!! on my knee!
Luckily my groceries didn´t break....yet....then as the second trufi was coming, my bottle of olives fell out of my apparently ripped bag and broke! but I got on the trufi anyway...hehehe...
Then, as I was on the trufi I decided to take a look at my probably scabbed up knee....but instead I ended up seeing a slightly gashing knee. So, I stopped the trufi and waited for another one heading BACk to the hospital! Luckily I wasn't that far. My knee wasn´t hurting hardly at all until i looked at it....then it began to hurt a little more.
Ok, so I get back to the hospital and it was about 4:45pm...the front desk ladies were wondering why the heck I was back and then I told them (while giggling nervously and feeling stupid) I fell. They got worried and sent me to the ER to get me cleaned up. I ended up getting an x-ray on my right knee (which of course showed nothing!) and waited a lot.
Before they told me about any x-ray the doctor on call (traumatologist....aka orthopedic doctor luckily!!:)) put a strip of gauze on it and taped it....then told me to go to the x-ray hahaha i was like what! that´s all!!! haha
Ok, so after he sees my xray, he tells me to lie down on the second bed in the ER room, which from working there and seeing some things, I know that that's where they always do the 'emergency surgeries'. so then i began to worry a little. So, I'm lying there on this previously used and not replaced or cleaned hospital bed thing and looking up at this very peculiar stain on the ceiling which i can only think to be a blood stain. And then, they bring the light fixture over and a bottle of anesthesia! AHHHH this wound is not that bad is it?!??!?!
Yep, so I'm getting anesthesia shots...which was the worst of the pain...and the doctors are trying all they can to distract me from the pain and my thinking ahhhh needles!!!
Yeah so minutes later, they're all poking around and cleaning it out and I can't feel a thing! AWESOME! It felt like they were just poking and proding my knee over my jeans!!! no pain was awesome!!!
Then, the doctor grabbed some paper towel thing with a hole in the middle and they all looked at me smiling....it was strange....then they open this bag thing and he grabs a long piece of thread and i was like 'oh ok stitches!' Yeah totally didn´t ask how many...should have.
I got up, anesthesia still hadn´t worn off.....yay! He said to come back for a check-up (actually he did say something about taking the stitches out then....but that can't be right!) on Wednesday....
So, here I am, a day later with a bandaged up right knee with who knows how many stitches in it and unable to bend my knee!!!
Please pray that I will still be able to enjoy parque tunari (hopefully this weekend instead of sleeping in the rain forest), chapare (rain forest), and have a great two weeks!!!:)
Love,
Emily
p.s. see you SOON!!!!! very SOON!!! JULY 21ST BABY!!!! YEA YEA!!!!!:):):)

Pullitzer Prize and Nobel Prize? ME??
5/3/08:
Today, Wara, Eli, Carol and I are going to the fair! YAY!
So, we actually left for the fair around 8 pm. Yeah and we arrived back home around 3 am! LONG day. A lot of drama too, but it was fun still.
Actually it was really boring and cold. When I get faster internet access I will post this hilarious video of me and Wara on this ride that was supposed to be a heck of a lot funner! :) You’ll laugh. You’ll cry. You’ll feel the cold wind in your hair. Ok well I’m being a bit over dramatic but you know…:)
5/4/08:
Well, needless to say, Wara and I didn’t make it to church today due to arriving home around 3 in the morning! Instead, we slept until noon-ish (well 4 pm for me…lol) and did a lot of other random little things around the house…painting, cleaning, washing, etc.
5/5/08:
Happy Birthday David! :)
Well, today I got to hang out with an old classmate/friend Axel (no not a car part lol). I had a lot of fun catching up and such. Good times!
This was the first day of my two weeks left at school! I am beginning to really struggle with no money!
5/6/08:
So, this is my last posted entry in my daily journal...yikes. So there probably won’t be much more detail anymore due to the fact that I am lazy in writing stuff down each day and I don’t have the best memory.
Well, I called today, and only BMAC answered…which was great! I loved to finally talk to her! I am really struggling more and more with lonliness, among other things here. :) PLEASE PRAY! :)
5/7-16/08:
Last Two Weeks of Work at CECBCC! :)
It was stressful and nice at the same time because I was able to get some things out in the open. Lies were being told about me behind my back and I finally got fed up with it. For probably one of the first times in my life, I finally did something about being hurt by someone/people and confronted them. It was scary…and lies were still told….but I was fine with it. I dealt with what I had to and left it at that…totally fine! It was strangely freeing. :)
5/17/08:
Time to look for a place to volunteer.
Nah! I just took it easy today…it was a great relaxing day for me! :)
5/18/08:
Visited the Cochabamba International Church and talked with some old family missionary friends of ours and found out about a bunch of different opportunities.
5/19/08:
I visited Solomon Klein, an orphanage here in Cochabamba. Actually my cousin Tanya adopted her little girl, Alaina, from this orphanage about ten or eleven years ago!
I don’t think I’ll be volunteering there though. Something just didn’t feel right about it.
Plus, they asked me for a few photocopies of my passport, which I didn’t have. The school had my original passport and didn’t give it to me when I left on Friday.
5/20/08:
Happy Golden Birthday Patita!!!! :)
5/21/08:
Well, today, Wara and I headed to the Capilla. I had to pick up my passport and she had to drop off her luggage because she was traveling to Santa Cruz for the weekend with a family from the school/church.
5/22/08:
Corpus Christi was celebrated or recognized or whatever by Catholics today and so there was no school or work for most. So, I hung out with Patita that day. I went to eat at her grandparents’ house and then we just hung out pretty much the rest of the day. VERY FUN!!!! :)
5/23/08:
Well, this morning, I actually substituted for the English kinder teacher for a couple hours because she had a mother’s day thing at her son’s school. I was greeted with hostility but I don’t even care anymore. :)
Then, as I was heading home, Patita called me to tell me that this one guy at church needed an English speaking receptionist at his office and wanted to talk with me. So, I called him up and he told me to be at his office within that same hour or so for an interview! So, I rushed around frantically trying to find a suitable outfit and rushed to the interview.
All went well, he told me to return on Monday morning sometime between 8:30 am and noon and tell him my answer. Of course I am encouraged by all to say yes and just show up bright and early on Monday morning (which by the way is tomorrow!) and just begin to work. It is currently 12:46 am on Monday morning and I have no idea what I am going to say. I mean, if I have a job it is more of a guarantee that I can return in August, but still I don’t know!? :)
5/24/08:
Thinking and relaxing day! Just sat around, chatting online, exercising, and writing some letters/postcards. Sent a postcard to some people…see how long it takes to arrive…a week or a day before I arrive? Haha lol.
5/25/08:
Well, I went back to the Cochabamba International Church today to straighten a few things out and stuff. I am actually kind of considering just going to that church on a more consistent basis, but I’m afraid the Capilla might view it as offensive…so that’s another thing on my huge prayer list! :)
Wara returned late tonight. Happy she’s back. She asked me what I had done all weekend and me trying to be funny told her ‘Well, I wrote a novel, sent it in to be published and now they’ve nominated me for the Pulitzer Prize, solved world hunger and world peace, and Patita and I actually discovered the formula to heal cancer! And we of course won the Nobel Prize for that. Our awards will be given to us in a few days at our banquet!’ Haha if only I could’ve kept a straight face through the last half of it. She actually did fall for the whole writing a novel and sending it in to the publisher part…I’m sure the whole Pulitzer Prize and smirk gave it away though. And then of course half way through my amazing speech about how I won two Nobel prizes I started to giggle! DANG IT!! I almost had her going!! Hahaha lol :)

Bolivian Civil War? OLD OLD OLD POST!!!!:)
It’s the end of the world as we know it. (Clap three times) LOL
4/29/08:
Not much different today. Stressed at school as usual. I did get to call Emma about some issues…that was good to be able to talk to one of my GNO girlies once again!!
After I hung up with Emma, I grabbed a computer and was going to try to load pictures, but the electricity went off on the block…so I just headed home and that’s about all I wrote! Hehe
4/30/08:
hehe…didn’t really write anything this day and don’t remember what I did.
Oh yeah! DUH I loaded pictures onto snapfish.com!!!! Join snapfish for those of you who don’t already have an account and look at my abundance of pictures!! More to come….PROMISE!!
5/1/08:
Happy International Day of Work
NO SCHOOL!! Woo hoo! What a day…yeah actually Wara and I just cleaned the house and painted some furniture most of the day. LOL
In the afternoon, we watched ‘Jumper’ and then went to Patita’s house to watch ‘The Perfect Man’ and ‘No Reservations.’ Then, I printed off my resignation letter and that’s about all I wrote.
5/2/08:
Well, today at school, right after the teacher’s meeting, I handed in my two weeks notice. I heard nothing the whole day, but I’m sure I’ll hear about it on Monday because we’re not going to church due to the status quo in Bolivia that day.
After school, I went home to get dressed for the gym.
When I got to the gym, I first went to the swimming office to ask about trying out for the pre-masters program and they had me do it right away.
So I apparently tried out for the club, which accepts people up to 25 I guess! Yeah so all they had me do was dive in, do freestyle to the other end of the pool. Come back doing backstroke and then I did one more length breast and that was it! So strange…but I got an invitation to join the club! PRETTY SWEET!
So, I just have to hand in 4 photocopies of my birth certificate, i.d. (passport), and wallet size photos and Bs. 85. and I’m in! I probably won’t be able to get those by Monday, but if I do, I start swimming every day from 7 to 8pm! I am SO EXCITED!
Then, I headed up to the gym, did some workouts, and then went out to eat at some random restaurant and then to church for young adults (youth group they call it).
Youth group was…interesting. Patita didn’t arrive right away and Jessica never even came…it was kinda awkward at first.
Yeah so apparently there’s a bunch of ‘tribes’ coming in for meetings…I am not sure what they’re called in English…but last year a bunch of riots broke out and there was at least one death…a little boy! Evo Morales (Bolivian president) apparently had two airplanes from Cuba (or Colombia) flown in full of guns for ‘his people’ and so there’s a lot of fear that it’ll be worse this year. I’ve even heard someone say that this start a civil war in Bolivia. So please pray for the safety of Bolivia and its people. Also, a little worry is happening because it’s well known that Evo does NOT like America, etc. So, please just pray for all the Americans and foreigners for that matter in this nation. I hear Venezuela doesn’t have any foreigners whatsoever anymore…they all got deported and are not welcomed. This is a huge prayer request. Please keep us in your prayers tomorrow. Thanks!
~Emily :)
p.s. I didn’t make it to an internet café….obviously lol!!! :)
but still keep us in your prayers!!! :)
p.s. 2. there is another note to be posted still and i promise it´s already written i just forgot to put it on my memory stick!!:)

Swimming = Heaven on earth! I am a Kinesthetic Learner! And more
4/13/08:
I watched ‘Underdog’ this morning. Then I had some eggs, tea, etc. Then, I discovered that my hair was ‘long enough’ to braid! YAY. Then, we went to church.
After church, I saw this adorable little puppy and the owners were just giving him away for free…man I sometimes wish I had a puppy to play with and take care of here!
So, today, my mom emailed me the details of my return. So, I leave Bolivia on Sunday, July 20th and arrive around 6? And then I have 3.5 days with friends and church, until we fly out to Oregon for our family reunion around noon on the 24th. Then, probably from Oregon, I will leave for Bolivia, for independence day around the 1st or 2nd… so yeah…there’s my visit!
4/14/08:
Sorry, I don’t know about this day! :)
4/15/08:
Happy Birthday Allison!
Happy Birthday Elisabeth!
Today I just went to school and did tutoring.
4/16/08:
I went to the gym today. I felt so good. I may have over done it a bit much as you will see in my 4/17 note…:)
After the gym, Wara and I went out to eat at a really good pizza place called ‘Sole Mio’ and we saw…and HEARD a lot of gringos (Americans). It was humorous.
After dinner I called Sarah and got to talk to Matthew and Silvia!! So sweet!! :)
4/17/08:
SORE!!!!! So SORE!!!! I felt like a robot all day long! Especially when we had to do aerobics…oh man it was very funny. It was kick-boxing or something and they played a techno/Rocky soundtrack the whole hour…I felt stupid to say the least. LOL
Oh yeah, and that day at school, there were parent-teacher conferences, and I have no idea why I had to even be there because I seriously did NOTHING…oh well…I got to color a little with the poor kids who got dragged along…LOL :)
4/18:08:
Teachers re-decorated rooms and I actually did something this time. I was still sore, but it was bearable.
Then, when we finished, I booked it to the pool and got to swim for almost 2 heavenly hours!! It was the best two hours of my life! I was in heaven for two hours! I don’t know how much I swam, plus it was kind of hard because there were teams training for the next day’s masters competition. I am considering joining masters here…I will have to sign up on Friday May 2. We’ll see.
That evening, we had a teacher’s meeting. I was late because of traffic, etc. I came in just in time to hear the kinder area teacher (Miss Carmen) talking. She mentioned me a lot and let’s just say that she directly asked the entire administration to consider taking immediate action on ‘me’ in front of the entire staff! Yeah awkward right?! So needless to say starting from the meeting until about now it hasn’t been very good.
I’ll try writing more about it another time…right now I need to go to sleep and get to school earlier tomorrow.
4/19/08:
Happy Quincenera Party Ivana!!! :)
I watched Little Man, and Last Holiday, and made pancakes and popcorn.
If I quit or get fired I might work at a baby orphanage owned by an American lady. Please pray with me about where I can go to next. Thanks.
4/20/08:
Happy Birthday Angie! :)
Wara and I went to Lago del Eden today with Patita and her parents. It’s this beautiful restaurant along a lake….well its dam at least lol. It has a castle on the premisces and we had so much fun taking pictures. However, I didn’t bring my camera that day! So mad at myself about that…but then again if it takes me over two hours to load just ten pictures…no matter.
Adela made sopa de mani. It was amazing!
Then, Wara and I went to Cine Center to celebrate a church friend’s birthday and I saw Sebas Santos, the youngest son of one of our first family friends here besides the Camachos!
Well, that’s basically it for now. :)
4/21/08:
no news about my job or lack thereof! I had ‘homework’ for kinder…including doing some laundry!? Strangest teacher chore! Then, I went to the gym and tutored.
4/22/08:
no tutoring today. They switched me to Thursdays and Fridays now…so no more swimming! Grrrrrr :(
4/23/08:
Happy Birthday Madeline! :)
I am now helping with 7th grade!?!?!
This evening, we had a teacher/parent meeting about the trimester. I was so bored. I drew some pictures, etc.
When I returned home, Wara informed me that she was heading off to Santa Cruz the next morning!? Apparently her school was on strike! LUCKY! Haha lol
4/24/08:
Went to school so I wouldn’t look like a fool LOL. I went to the gym. I got one hour of sleep. The end.
4/25/08:
School. Skipped gym. Watched movies. Began writing my first draft of my letter of resignation. I now teach 7th grade science?! We had a meeting about the English fair. I got a package from my parents.
4/26/08:
I cleaned my room. Tried to do laundry, but was unsuccessful because I can’t work the machine. Went to the Cancha alone! So fun! Bought gifts and fruit, etc. The end.
4/27/08:
Church, Patita wasn’t there!
I went to the downtown area and spent two hours and loaded ten pictures online. I called my grandparents, my mom, and the others didn’t answer! I ate some sugar cane I bought on Saturday! I watched movies and then looked at wedding pictures from Israel/Erin’s wedding the day before and only seven pictures my mom took at Ivana’s 15era! So beautiful!
4/28/08:
LATE! 7th grade science; not liking it at all. I am doing an outline of the book for myself so I can answer some questions. I wrote my letter…hopefully my final draft so I can give it to the administration tomorrow. I found out today that I am a kinesthetic (sp?) learner! That answered a lot of my life questions! Thank you Jessica!! :)
Now, I am finally caught up on my notes!!! :)
~Emily :)
I watched ‘Underdog’ this morning. Then I had some eggs, tea, etc. Then, I discovered that my hair was ‘long enough’ to braid! YAY. Then, we went to church.

4/15/08:
Happy Birthday Allison!
Happy Birthday Elisabeth!
Today I just went to school and did tutoring.
4/16/08:
I went to the gym today. I felt so good. I may have over done it a bit much as you will see in my 4/17 note…:)
After the gym, Wara and I went out to eat at a really good pizza place called ‘Sole Mio’ and we saw…and HEARD a lot of gringos (Americans). It was humorous.
After dinner I called Sarah and got to talk to Matthew and Silvia!! So sweet!! :)
4/17/08:
SORE!!!!! So SORE!!!! I felt like a robot all day long! Especially when we had to do aerobics…oh man it was very funny. It was kick-boxing or something and they played a techno/Rocky soundtrack the whole hour…I felt stupid to say the least. LOL
Oh yeah, and that day at school, there were parent-teacher conferences, and I have no idea why I had to even be there because I seriously did NOTHING…oh well…I got to color a little with the poor kids who got dragged along…LOL :)
4/18:08:
Teachers re-decorated rooms and I actually did something this time. I was still sore, but it was bearable.
Then, when we finished, I booked it to the pool and got to swim for almost 2 heavenly hours!! It was the best two hours of my life! I was in heaven for two hours! I don’t know how much I swam, plus it was kind of hard because there were teams training for the next day’s masters competition. I am considering joining masters here…I will have to sign up on Friday May 2. We’ll see.
That evening, we had a teacher’s meeting. I was late because of traffic, etc. I came in just in time to hear the kinder area teacher (Miss Carmen) talking. She mentioned me a lot and let’s just say that she directly asked the entire administration to consider taking immediate action on ‘me’ in front of the entire staff! Yeah awkward right?! So needless to say starting from the meeting until about now it hasn’t been very good.
I’ll try writing more about it another time…right now I need to go to sleep and get to school earlier tomorrow.
4/19/08:
Happy Quincenera Party Ivana!!! :)
I watched Little Man, and Last Holiday, and made pancakes and popcorn.
If I quit or get fired I might work at a baby orphanage owned by an American lady. Please pray with me about where I can go to next. Thanks.
4/20/08:
Happy Birthday Angie! :)
Wara and I went to Lago del Eden today with Patita and her parents. It’s this beautiful restaurant along a lake….well its dam at least lol. It has a castle on the premisces and we had so much fun taking pictures. However, I didn’t bring my camera that day! So mad at myself about that…but then again if it takes me over two hours to load just ten pictures…no matter.
Adela made sopa de mani. It was amazing!
Then, Wara and I went to Cine Center to celebrate a church friend’s birthday and I saw Sebas Santos, the youngest son of one of our first family friends here besides the Camachos!
Well, that’s basically it for now. :)
4/21/08:
no news about my job or lack thereof! I had ‘homework’ for kinder…including doing some laundry!? Strangest teacher chore! Then, I went to the gym and tutored.
4/22/08:
no tutoring today. They switched me to Thursdays and Fridays now…so no more swimming! Grrrrrr :(
4/23/08:
Happy Birthday Madeline! :)
I am now helping with 7th grade!?!?!
This evening, we had a teacher/parent meeting about the trimester. I was so bored. I drew some pictures, etc.
When I returned home, Wara informed me that she was heading off to Santa Cruz the next morning!? Apparently her school was on strike! LUCKY! Haha lol
4/24/08:
Went to school so I wouldn’t look like a fool LOL. I went to the gym. I got one hour of sleep. The end.
4/25/08:
School. Skipped gym. Watched movies. Began writing my first draft of my letter of resignation. I now teach 7th grade science?! We had a meeting about the English fair. I got a package from my parents.
4/26/08:
I cleaned my room. Tried to do laundry, but was unsuccessful because I can’t work the machine. Went to the Cancha alone! So fun! Bought gifts and fruit, etc. The end.
4/27/08:
Church, Patita wasn’t there!
I went to the downtown area and spent two hours and loaded ten pictures online. I called my grandparents, my mom, and the others didn’t answer! I ate some sugar cane I bought on Saturday! I watched movies and then looked at wedding pictures from Israel/Erin’s wedding the day before and only seven pictures my mom took at Ivana’s 15era! So beautiful!
4/28/08:
LATE! 7th grade science; not liking it at all. I am doing an outline of the book for myself so I can answer some questions. I wrote my letter…hopefully my final draft so I can give it to the administration tomorrow. I found out today that I am a kinesthetic (sp?) learner! That answered a lot of my life questions! Thank you Jessica!! :)
Now, I am finally caught up on my notes!!! :)
~Emily :)
Jesika and her husband....sorry only picture i have! :)
Ow! I’m in pain: GOOD PAIN! :)
4/11/08:
Happy Children’s Day! :)
Well, today was Children’s Day at school. Tomorrow is the actual Children’s Day on the calendar, but we of course celebrated today.
Anyway, I finally found a costume to wear today after stressing about it last night. I wore a white shirt with my whitest possible pants and angel wings we found in some box left behind by the Camachos. :) So, yeah, I went to school today with two 2.5 liter coke bottles in hand and angel wings…quite a sight. LOL
After school, I called Sarah and talked for a good while, then I bought a (brace yourself for this next comment): HELLO KITTY CELL PHONE!!! Oh come on are you really that shocked about it?! Now you had to have known that eventually, even though I am 20 it’s true…I would eventually manage to find and purchase a Hello Kitty cell phone! :) I can’t wait to post pictures of this baby! I love it so much. I will fill you in on the name at a later date… :)

Happy actual Children’s Day! :)
Today I woke up around 7 am and I have no idea why. Friday night, Wara and I went to a couple gyms to look at them and compare prices and pools. The first one we went to was kind of creepy. It was huge, but there was no one there. It was open and all, but we couldn’t find anyone who could actually help us out. There were like three men working out and it was a little creepy. The gym was called ‘Hercules’ so maybe that’s why it seemed like an all men gym, LOL. Yeah, but we eventually found a guy to help us out. So, then we decided to look at another gym with a pool just in case. Plus the guy said the pool was closed until around May or June.
Victoria was the other gym we went to. I used to take swimming and dance lessons here. Megan was on a water polo team there and I can’t remember if Allie ever took lessons there. Anyway, I actually saw one of my old swimming teachers there, but I don’t think he recognized me. I loved that pool so much. It was open first of all and it was huge! I of course wanted to just jump in right then and there and swim like 2 miles or something. But, then I discovered that there was only open swim from noon to two on week days. They aren’t open on weekends. I am really missing the conveniences of America. :)
So, the only days I would be able to go would be Thursdays and Fridays. I am so desperate to go swimming that I will do it. It’s B.20 per hour so I’ll just do that. I am thinking of maybe joining a class of some sort. But what kind could I join? I already know how to swim, obviously… :)
Well, anyway, then we headed up to the gym, which was tiny. We joined for B.60 a month just for one month to try it out. There was some good equipment up there. Not as much as Hercules of course, I mean there were no free weights, but for me it was just enough. With Wara just starting off I don’t think she saw much opportunity there. :) But we are just going to try it one month and see from there.
Anyway, back to today. I went to eat at Patita’s grandparents’ house. I felt kinda awkward because they were all talking about family memories and all that jazz, but it was fun. I enjoyed myself.
Oh yeah, how could I forget to mention…when Patita picked me up that morning, she had brought her newest puppy…the one she had found and saved! She was so adorable. So very hyper and only about 2.5 months old! I wish I had taken a picture of her, but of course seeing as how I have like 300 pictures still to post, it wouldn’t have mattered anyway. :)
After lunch, we talked for a while at her house, had some scrumptious peanut M&Ms. Then, she drove me home because we were supposed to ‘mow’/ weed-whack the lawn that afternoon. However, when I got home I found Wara and Adela painting the old furniture. So, I joined in and we did that instead of ‘mowing’ because we were out of some cord for the whacker…
I had so much paint all over me. I should have just bathed in gasoline. I was extremely flammable last night. I took a shower and hopefully scrubbed most of it if not all of it off. Yeah, and the internet is not working and I’m really frustrated. It’s not Tommy (my computer LOL) . But even so, I wish I could just head to church today and get help from Kyle! :)

Meh. That’s all I gots to say: MEH! :)
4/6-7/08:
Yeah, did I mention I didn’t fill in all the days! :)
4/8/08:
Happy Birthday Ivana! :)
Today, I called Ivana to wish her a happy birthday but she didn’t answer...boo :(
I did however talk to Sarah and she informed me that the 30 hour famine is this weekend! And that she will be trying to film some stuff for me…YAY!! :)
I had a horrible stomach ache that day and didn’t do much else. I got home around 5 and never woke up until the next morning! :)
4/9/08:
I have determined that I need to leave even earlier for school because the buses keep arriving jam packed...
Well, school was ok…I had to go to INTERPOL again (oh yeah I went yesterday…:)) and FELCC. INTERPOL is done with for good I’m told, but we forgot a piece of paperwork for the FELCC and so we were supposed to finish that tomorrow…
The rest of the day was ok…I went home and watched Mad Money (lol SARAH:)). Then, because I was really homesick for LIFECHURCH I decided to go downtown and try to call some. I also ended up calling Allie. However, the calls lasted a little too long and I hung up around 10pm and couldn’t catch a trufi, and got home around 11:15 to find Wara and Adela looking for me on the streets. Oops! :( Yeah Not Good! I had a rough night. My asthma acted up and I felt extremely homesick for LifeChurchers! :)
4/10/08:
Today was ok. I was kinda in a bad mood from last night. Then, I got to school and Ms. Carmen informed me that I need to dress up in a costume for tomorrow…Children’s Day! Yeah good to know at the last minute…well, yeah and I also have to bring two big bottles of Coke to school…grrreat! :)
Also, some not so good at all news: I lost my iPod. Yeah I think one of the kids was going through my purse or something….I for sure had it at school because I remember I was fixing the headphone wires in chapel this morning. Well, all’s I know is that it’s not in my purse right now. Please pray that it shows up. I actually got in ‘trouble’ for losing it. It unfortunately became a bigger deal than I had wanted and now I am about to just make a ‘LOST’ poster to photocopy and offer some kind of small reward…:)
Well, T.T.F.N. folks! :)
~Emily:)
Yeah, did I mention I didn’t fill in all the days! :)

Toe Fracture is not healed quite yet, and I hate going to the Doc
3/26/08:
Hehe yeah I despise going to the doctor...so...I never went!! Hehe…the sickness eventually ‘went away’ after almost a week…hehe I suffered a while and did it the hard way but at least I didn’t have to go to the doctor!! :)
3/27/08:
Happy Birthday BMAC! :)
I tried to iron my pants today…and I burnt a hole in them. That’s right, I burnt a hole in my pants! I have determined what kind of guy I am to marry. I know! A huge revelation right! He must know how to sew, iron, and do laundry (as in sort correctly). That is all that is required of him…well….kinda…haha lol. So, anyway quite the day I called my best friend and wished her a happy birthday and figured out the type of guy I am to marry! Yay me! :)
3/28/08:
Yeah, so I didn’t write about my day so I have nothing to write…sorry :)
3/29/08:
I woke up around 10 to find Adela and Wara already working on cutting the grass. We don’t own a lawn mower here...so we had to use a weed whacker. They had already been out there for an hour before I came. We worked until about 12:30, and then came in and made ourselves some lunch and fresh lemonade!
The day was supposed to be more productive than it was. I was supposed to go to the market place to buy some more green fabric for my pants, cell phone, zipper, cheese, etc. But I ended up not going there until around 6 with Patty and all I managed to buy was the fabric. I did however shine/polish my work shoes, do white laundry and yeah before...hehe
Oh yeah, then when I got back from buying the fabric...I went online to try and text Wara but to no avail...so I just went to the IC Norte and bought some eggs, chocolate milk, yogurt, etc.
3/30/08:
Made some yummy pancakes this morning! :)
Went to church today. I really miss LifeChurch! :(
I have a goal to memorize the Jungle Book song, “That’s What Friends Are For” by the time I return...I miss the Sellers! :)
Then, Wara and I returned home to cook ourselves some lunch. We have been needing to buy cheese for a few weeks now...so hopefully maybe, probably not because it’s Sunday, we’ll do it today. LOL :)
Also had pancakes for dinner! YAY :) LOL
Well, that’s all that’s happened today. CIAO! :)
3/31/08:
I made pancakes! YUM!
I am really missing my LifeChurchers! I was thinking about you all through the church service.
Then, after church Wara and I were planning on going out with a couple other girls but it didn’t work out.
Oh yeah, and somehow the song ‘That’s What Friends Are For’ from the Jungle Book came up in conversation and so it made me miss the Sellers, and that made me somehow want to make a goal to memorize that song by July. Really random and I apologize…:)
4/1/08:
HAPPY APRIL FOOLS DAY!
Well, all I wrote down is that the Camachos are in town….?! :)
4/2/08:
Sorry, I don’t have anything to say about today…?! :)
4/3/08:
Moving Day!
Camachos didn’t leave today… instead they packed up just about the whole entire house into a truck to drive to Santa Cruz! Pr. Pablo drove with the movers to Sta. Cruz. He took 6 of the 8 total beds here…the entire living room and dining room sets. It’s quite a site here. We were left with nothing except for the computer in the family rooms, nothing but the ironing board in the girls’ bedroom, half my ‘room’ and stuff piled up to the roof almost on the kitchen table! It’s going to be another long day tomorrow organizing everything. Wara, Silvia and I went to their old house to pick some more stuff up from there! There was so much stuff there it was so overwhelming. :) So, needless to say, we now have the old furniture from their old house! So instead of ‘out with the old, in with the new’…it was: ’out with the new, and in with the old!’ :)
Well, that’s all for today…I am still with a cold and it’s getting worse from this weeks activities!
**Tomorrow I will write about how I almost could have been in an accident this morning, how I figured out why kids ‘hate’ me and are so scared of me, how I called almost my entire phonebook and no one answered, except for a few…how I have to sew these lamb bags for children’s day, etc. It actually was quite a day…I’m just way too exhausted to continue writing because it’s already 11 minutes past midnight! :)**
4/4/08:
School. Didn’t finish sewing at all last night (obviously! :)). Found Q Barato. Bought candies for girls, and Rosquitas de San Javier! Went home, played SIMs, and watched Dan in Real Life, and then ate. My stomach always hurts here…I’m about to be knocked out from the ‘Nyquil’ I just took…NIGHT! :)\
4/5/08:
Made pancakes for breakfast. Cleaned some dishes and the kitchen cupboards. Sitting on my bed wanting to sleep because of the Nyquil. Not writing in full sentences because I have to catch up on a lot of notes! :)
