well. i slightly overestimated the availability of internet in veracruz... which wouldn't have mattered if only the internet hadn't gone out at the valtierra household. needless to say, i'm a few weeks behind in blogging. sometimes i think i'd be better off not trying.
i don't have a lot of time right now, but as for current updates.... i'm in dallas, texas right now!! welcome back to the beautiful USA. i proudly flushed toilet paper for the first time in 4 weeks this afternoon. the last couple of days have been a whirlwind of goodbyes as we packed up from mexico and then a whirlwind of hellos today as we meet all the other interns from CAM (who keep coming in from all their different summer sites). amidst all the chaos, we made a trip to see a doctor 2 days ago in Ixta because i had an allergic reaction to something i ate (unrelated to the reaction i had to my bed at camp.) and got really hot in the middle of lunch the other day broke out into really itchy hives. the doctor shot me up with something and i've been taking whatever pills they gave me ever since, without much success. dear mom and dad: i think we should go to the doctor to get tested when i get home.
as for now, i'm short on time, but thank you guys for allll your prayers. i've been learning a lott and can't wait to get home to see everyone. for now i'm broiling in the texas sun and recovering. later, gators.

get ready to sweat, kids.
camp was soo awesome.
i got home today at maybe 6 tonight, and in typical mexican fashion, left with my siblings 20 min later for a quincinera. tomorrow we leave right after church for our road trip to veracruz. for the first time we're headed somewhere really hot. until this point we've been at altitudes too high to feel the heat (to correct an earlier stated fact: camp was over 9000 ft up.) soo, planning on sweating a lot this week. i'm currently trying to frantically wash and dry my clothes in time... without a dryer. (in other words, i'm really exhausted... living the vida loca.) but absolutely loving it.
i really wish i had time and space to describe everything but it is late. i think & hope we will have internet in veracruz?? andd plan on doing some of the catching up when we get there. for now, just know this: at camp, i
met some really great people my own age
cooked some mexican food!
sang a few worship songs with a sweett band from up north
froze in the rain all week
had an allergic reaction to my mattress
spilled a lot of oreo pudding on my crotch
lit some fireworks
learned how to salsa
....... and loved every minute of it.
