Back in Peru

We are back in Peru from our trip to the States and it is sooo obvious! Almost 6 months in the USA can almost ruin a missionary. haha. Basically, At the end of every day my body aches, my muscles hurt, and I wonder if I even got that much done. It doesn´t help having church at our house on Sundays. When I feel like I finally get somewhere during the week, as far as progress on unpacking and settling back in, I feel like it´s completely reversed by hosting the 40 plus people for the morning. Not the mention the endless steam of unannounced visitors that rearrange my schedule. Watching the girls, (or should I say raising them), doing housework, and trying to make time to really settle in again can really drain a person. I can´t say I really miss the luxeries, it´s just I´m needing strength to face another day. This afternoon I was at the end as I looked at the after church house, I asked Nelton if he could bathe the girls while I got some stuff done. Thankfully, I got most of the days dishes done before our retuine water cut off at 7 p.m. (something that´s been happening almost everynight.) And also, good thing I filled the garbage bucket in the bathroom so we could actually bathe tonight. This, of course, is me just pouring out my re-entry online. The ups are up and I feel good, the downs are down and I feel like I´m doing NOTHING! Satruday I got up from my nap, pumped to get my closet in order and my suitcase unpacked (after being home for over a week) and I woke up to a house of guests. We served them a treat and by 9 p.m. realized that we had better go find some supper too, I guess we just sorta thought they would eventually leave. A lady and her daughter ended up staying the night as they are out of town. It´s good. It´s bad. It´s both. It´s re-entry! Appreciate the prayers.
