P.S. my sister is in another play at the Ocala Civic Theater.

Football Season starts in a month and I’m going to the beach on Friday.  I’ll have to start conditioning in the next week.  Frequent runs on the Beach and push-ups for starters.  Pull-ups at home as well.  One minor problem though, I get an appliance on the 2nd day of football.  Hopefully it won’t get in the way of my mouth piece.  Oh well, I’ll just have to get started training anyways.

I’m taking a break from Fantasy Football Draft Prep. to update all (if any) of my loyal readers.  My Dad and I are in a Christian Fantasy Football League.  As you might have thought it is in fact related to Jesus.  We call it, “Jesus Loves Football.”  We know this because our diligent commissioner/dictator is also an Episcopalian priest who went to Law School with my Dad.  It’s a long story.  To shorten things up, last year was our first year and we did alright until the playoffs.  In the playoffs we stank so bad that we couldn’t even score enough points to come close to winning.  So anyways, this year is going to be different because I have scouted out so many players that when I am dreaming I see numbers and names of players.  We are still trying to come up with a name for our commish this year, we used Kim Jong Il last year.  If you can think of any then please leave me a comment.  That’s about it for now.

It is a great uplifting site for teens.  If you know any Christian teens you should suggest this site to them immediately.  C U L8er!

You are probably wondering what “Terere” is right? I know what you are going to say so I’ll answer your question before you have time to ask it. Terere is the cold version of the world-famous Yerba Mate from South America. If someone offers you some terere it means that they think you are cool and want to be your friend. It is similar to the peace pipe done by North American Indians.

Terere is served from a thermos into a guampa with a metal straw called a bombilla. The host takes the thermos and pours the water into the guampa and drinks the water that is instantly flavored by the Yerba leaves inside. Then he refills and passes the guampa on to the next person. If you wish to decline you can simply say, “Gracias,” and they will not give you any more. It is a custom not to drink if you are sick.

You can google search it and find out more if that isn’t sufficient for you.

The trip has gone well, we’ve been here for almost a week. Today is the last “day” here. We leave tomorrow. I will let you know what has happened in the last few days.

We got here late Saturday morning and met Tim, Juan, and Jessie in the airport. We drove to the Hotel and spent an uneventful afternoon at the Hotel. Then we went to a church service that night and met some people and were introduced to the community. The next day we arrived in Church and did some stuff with the nationals later. Every night up to Thursday has had an event at night. We did evangelism all day Monday and a lot of it on Tuesday but with some discipleship. Wednesday was one evangelism and mostly discipleships. Yesterday was all discipleship. We also taught at three schools four times on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Time to go do something, Chao!

P.S. Here is the password for the next post: flight

Hello Everybody!

What do you think?  Did anyone get frightened or worried?  Did you get my secret message?  I think I actually named most of the shots and pretended there were more.  It went better than I previously stated as some of you may have deduced.  I got three of ‘em, they hit me outta nowhere.  Actually, they hit me from the nurse’s hand.  I got Hepatitis A on my left shoulder and Yellow Fever on my left triceps, the Typhoid went in my right shoulder.  Typhoid was sore yesterday and this morning.  Yellow Fever hurt the most off the bat but calmed down.  As far as I know I am alright, my arms are still attached and they still work.  I am getting more and more excited as the trip grows closer.  My dad contacted someone on the trip who has been on several others. in the region.  I have a list of seven phrases in English, Spanish (the official language), and Guarani (the native language).  On Wednesday I hope to announce the trip at Cross Connections.  So as 92% of the Paraguayans would say, “Jajoecha peve, Nande jara ta nde robasa,” or in English we would say, “See you later, God bless you.”  Chao!
