The End

I'm in Lima. Goodbyes were hard. It's hard to get pretty close with people and they leave and not know if you'll ever see them again. Tomorrow night I'll get on a plane home and I'm really looking forward to coming home though. Thanks everybody who has cared about me and prayed for me. It has meant a lot to me. When times have been tough these last 6 months it has been very encouraging knowing how many people have been praying for me. I hope everyone has a blessed Thanksgiving Day.

The Peruvian Hairless Dog

This coming Tuesday I'm flying to Lima. I'll be there until Friday, then I fly home Friday night to arrive next Saturday morning. This is the end. I never quite figured out how to use this blog, but that's ok I guess. I have a good story for this post at least. So, as most people know, Barack Obama promised to get his daughters a puppy. He also mentioned in a news conference that one of his daughters is allergic to most dogs. Well, here in Peru there's a breed of dog that doesn't have any hair. They've been bred for 3,000 years I think. So, the director of the Friends of the Peruvian Hairless Dog Association in Lima offered the Obama family a four month old Peruvian hairless dog named Machu Picchu. Here are some photos.



Apparently it has a warmer than average body temperature and can cure arthritis and asthma. There was a special about it on tv the other night. People are really hoping Obama accepts. It would certainly be hilarious.

Making Peanut Butter

So this was kinda fun. Yesterday I made peanut butter. This is me roasting the peanuts.

Peanut buttering.
The end.
