an update, por fin!

Not much has been happening lately, but classes will have started by the time i post this. I'll be studying Christian life 1 and Discipled Evangelism...en español of course. Since not much has been going on, i figured i'd tell you a story that happened to my friend here. His name is Tim..and he had an on-going headache so he went to the medical center. The doctor sent him to town by himself (oh, he doesn't speak spanish THAT well, by the way) to talk to a doctor there who would subscribe him medicine. So Tim's trying to explain himself to a doctor who ends up just giving him some pills and charges him medicine. I don't know about you, but that sounds dangerous because he could have not named the symptoms right. Then, when he came back to campus the doctor told him to get into his underwear and wait on him. Tim did, and when the doctor came back he stuck 9 pins in him...one in each wrist, each ankle, and three just above his crotch...the lower stomach area. And left him there with the door open in his office for like 30 minutes..just laying there. The doctor didn't ask him if he wanted to do it...or even tell him what he was doing, he just did it. I laughed...maybe if he had told you the story you would have too...but it was soo funny. They do things different here, what more can i say? OK, well i have to go wash dishes, so i'll be back...ok, so i'm back. I remembered something else. As most of you know, they have this drink here, called the "mate"..if you don't know what it is, just google it, you'll learn enough that way. But anyway, Here, one way to prepare a mate is to put coca leaves in it...and one of the churches i went on ministery sold them. (because the church is held in a kiosco...a sortof candy/nick nack stores. Sortof like pete's grocery, if your from Tobaccoville) Anyway, so me and my friend peter are getting coca leaves for our mate soon..from a church...wierd huh. Oh, incase you didn't realize, coca leaves are what they make cocain out of...and i think that if they were selling those in a church in the united states..somebody would have problems with it. So that's why i thought it was funny. the end. Thanks for reading. Chau
