Conversions

Every moment of the day I am always converting things in my head. Money, weight, measurements, language etc.. I am surprised my brain has not fried.

We got a puppy. Okay flip your life completely over, then add a puppy on top of it. Life is good, a bit stinky, but good. He is really cute! that makes it all worth it.

El Bano!

Our bathroom always smells! It drives me crazy. It is the toilet and the drain in the shower. I clean it everyday with cleanser and bleach. This helps for a little while, but eventually the smell comes back to haunt us. Who ever said missionaries have a glamorous life. If cleaning the toilet everyday is glamorous, I'll take something different. Pray for my toilet, you know how everything begins to pile up and on top of it there is always a lingering putrid aroma in the air. Yuck. The things you sacrifice for the kingdom.

Getting ready for Chloe's birthday party in Peru

• Where to have it because our apartment is to small? at the park with the big long slide.

• Send invites, where do you find invitations? Nobody seems have them that's okay I had blank cards from the states. Now how do I tell people how to get to the park? I don't know the name of the park or know how to say the name of the road, let alone spell it.

• Food, drink, and cake for the party? Order Papa John's pizza, because Chloe wanted that for her party. Soda and small pastries for each child

• Go to Mercado Centro Comerical: imagine a place that is huge, sells everything and has a million people there. Thankfully our tutor went with us to help us buy party favors, plates, napkins, etc.

• Chloe and I go that morning to the bakery for her to pick out what she wanted to serve for her birthday treat. Then we went to Starbuck's

• Ask my friend Amanda to call Papa John's and order the pizza.

• Get all of the family and every for the party together to leave for the park
  

• Go to Wong's and get soda, water and spoons

• Get a taxi to Moli Central to get the pizzas, but there no taxis, so we hop on a combi (a small bus).

• Get out of the combi and cross to major intersection to Papa John's to get the pizza, now find a taxi and head to the park Found a taxi, so how do we tell the driver how to get to the park in spanish.
• Okay did that, we made it to the park, 15 minutes early. Yippee!

• Notice that the water was carbonated and nobody liked the taste.

• Everyone invited to the party was late by 30 minutes or more.
  
• 
  
• O well Chloe had a great time and that is all that matters. Done.
