"My Hammock in the Shade"

hey ya'll...sorry i haven't updated this in FOREVER (Foooreeeevvveeerrr, foooorrrreeeevvveerrr--ok sorry, i watched Sandlot the other day) Anyways, not too much has happened here since i returned from my first trip to the jungle. i've been kickin' it peruvian style here lately...restin' in my new hammock and trying to avoid the heat--is that even possible?
anyways....no really, i kinda do have alot in the works right now.

for starters, i have decided to take on a puppy. Mocha(the McAnally's Chocolate Lab) had puppies--they are now three weeks old. i decided i wanted to keep the little runt girl. something about us little people that want to root for the underdog--literally!:) i have decided to name her "Sunshine" because ya'll know i LOVE the sunshine. well, u might not know that, but I DO! i think i will call her "Sunny" sometimes for short--plus that is easier for Peruvians to say.

also, i bought a new hammock..as u can see above. i just love it!
the mcanally's, autumn, and i have had some missonary visitors this week, which has been enjoyable.

sadly, however, dena is sick. she has been sick for over a month now and we are not sure why. therefore, it is looking more like i will be going out on Monday instead of staying in Pucallpa with Jacob. nothing is for sure right now though. i am sticking to the most overused yet underrated missionary word--FLEXIBLE. that is what i have to be right now. tomorrow, i will find out if i stay here or go to the communities, then i will leave on Monday if that is the choice that is made.
also, i have begun working with language partners here in pucallpa. i will be working on language intensively (somewhat intensively anyways) for 1 month. i am really enjoying this and it gives me lots of opprotunities to talk about our work and about JESUS! my current tutor lives behind us in a house with her boyfriend. please pray for me that i can be a good friend to her and can show her God's love.

well, that's about it...i will send out an update about if i'm going or staying soon. i'll also put a post up here about it.

please pray for Dena--that she will feel better and for our team that we will make the right decision about who stays and who goes this month.
