That day, we were singing in the street.

About the flooding; it has been raining quite a bit here. Even though it never stops being super hot! Thankfully, the majority of the houses here are set above ground or on stilts. Our area is called Castillo and it's on the outskirts of Tingo Maria, where there aren´t stores or paved roads or anything, but our room and our pention are all here in Tingo Maria, where they have big gutters and all paved streets, so it doesn´t affect us much.

Anyway, my wasp bites already healed, but I´m more bothered by the mosquitoes here. When it rains at night, all the bugs come inside and I happen to sleep with my head less than a foot from the window (which does not close because there is no glass, just hole). I´ve resorted to spraying myself, and my bed, with bug spray every night and it´s been going well.

A young girl is getting baptized this Saturday. My first week here, we found her while contacting. We contact a little differently, here in Tingo Maria. That day, we were singing in the street. My companion did beat box and I sang. During that time, about 20 or more people came and gathered around us. Then, we contacted all of them, and she happened to be one of those people. It´s very inspiring how much she´s changed her life during those few weeks. Just a humble reminder of how little we do, and how much the Spirit can do, in terms of teaching and converting.

I tried aguaje this week. Aguaje is a fruit famous for producing female hormones. They say that´s why all the girls here are super feminine, and all the guys are slightly odd. I have yet to experience any noticeable physical changes, but I´ll keep you posted. In summary, the fruit wasn´t all that good. It tastes like cashews and cranberries mushed together.
