| | It's time once again for my monthly entries that include not much of interest. It's like those free writes you had to do in high school. I always thought the teacher was either fruity or lazy. "You want me to write about anything i want to? But I don't want to write about anything." The duller teachers would say, "there must be something blah, blah, blah." The better teachers said, "then write about that." I used to be a real sucker for a challenge and i'd fill the front and the back of a steno page with a description of my not wanting to write and the reasons for my attitude and then maybe a couple jabs at the teacher and the whole free write idea. Genius.
Truth is though that things have been happening. Baker is getting the poder. which i won't bother explaining b/c it sounds better in spanish. We may get a landline (telephone) at the dropin center (whoo dee doo). And we paid our corporate earnings tax (non-profits do that in bolivia) and paid nothing. Big surprise, ministries ought to be pretty miserably operating businesses. They should be the model for a business going bankrupt. "Should" is the key word and why we still have to register with the government. Apparently, political parties start foundations for fund raising purposes and even (do i even need that) Christian ministries often operated quite nicely as businesses. The gov wants its cut. We paid nothing. I guess that makes us legit.
I just got over 3 days of stomach issues. Since i didn't take medicine, I'll mark the calendar to see if my friends come back to bother me in 6 weeks. John claims that's what they do. It was pretty bothersome because, well my stomach hurt,etc, i couldn't eat stuff, i didn't drink coffee, and it was cold (45 in side one morning). My internal temperture seems really connected to my consumption of food. Obviously.
Finally, i get requests for more pictures from time to time here and on Facebook (i have 48 friends...i don't know if i could even name 48 people!). My camera has a 16mb chip in it right now so thtat like 5 pics at a time which is worse than film. The camera i have thanks to Heather's (and mine) friend Amanda. THanks. The new mem chip will come to us thanks to Cara and Mark. The ensuing flood of pictures will come to you thanks to Wes. Thaaaaaanks Weeeees. (grade school inflection) Don't hold your breath. |
