Hello everyone,
Just wanted to check in briefly. I’m in Lima, Peru with my wife and son. We’re having a great time. It’s actually really hard for me to be this close to something I desire so much (living/serving in Peru), but nonetheless that’s only because the people and places have beautified my life to such a great extent. And so I’m actually happy now that I think about. (I can hear myself thinking, “You’re going in circles again, Jason!” I sound like mom, for those of you who know her). Anyway, other than a staph infection, my health is good. Oh yeah…I got a STAPH INFECTION! Thankfully, my work covered me with insurance through April and there are some authorized providers here in Lima. I went to a clinic in the ritzy part of town. It actually seemed more like a club or resort than a medical clinic. They had flat screen TVs, a nice coffee shop, professional photographs of Peru on the walls etc. I got some medicine, which cost more than the visit (How do average Peruvians afford to get antibiotics?). Pray that it gets better. The last thing I want is to bring this back with me (or to have them perform some sort of puss extraction on my left hip!).
I’ll leave you with that thought firmly pressed into your heads.
Chau,
Jason

Oh, and I got my tattoo.

I’m a little disappointed because, as it turns out, the puss went down on its own and won’t have to be manually drained.
How do your arms feel? Sore? Can’t wait to see em’!
