So remember the thing in the last post about burning the cookies because I started talking and kinda forgot that something was cookies and the rest of the world existed. Well, oops, I did it again. Except this time, they were not cookies that were burning. But it sure was a good conversation! This is…

Not normal
Sometimes I think I’m a very normal person. And it’s easy to blame cultural differences on the fact that people think I’m strange. “Well, I just seem strange because I’m not from the same country.” Naw, today I realized that I’m just weird, even in my own habitat of the USA. Let me show 4…
Voluntary service
Every once in a while I do awesome things just for fun, although yes, it may be partly my job. Here one of my job “add-ons” is serving on the Adventist Volunteer Services board here on campus, which is a privilege for me after having spent two wonderful years as an AVS volunteer. Recently we had a…
Happy Peruvian Thanksgiving

Perfect Timing
Sometimes I think I have the greatest friends around. Super kudos to Jeanfranco, who after reading my last blog post brought me a random and surprising present today. My very own baking timer! Now I won’t be burning any more muffins (although there might be an ulterior motive since this way he won’t have to eat burnt…
The Smell of Home
Today was rough. Well, ok, the last few days have been rough. We’ve had a few important events this week which has been demand time and energy out of many of us. I’ve been running around from 5am to 10pm (on a good day) and today unfortunately everyone else was just as stressed and irritable,…
Getting Fat
I know it’s not a good goal to want to get fat, but I will say the process is much more fun than dieting. Now, let me make myself clear, I have no specific desire to BE fat, but I plan on taking advantage of every culinary advantage to living in Peru. Peru is very…
