Sabado

Yesterday I went to two new areas that are quite nice. First we went to Chan Chan. I went with three other BYU interns that are here in Trujillo, all three of them working with orphanages around and outside of town. These ruins are only partly uncovered to this day and much is still unknown about this Mochica society that was conquered by the Incas. We then went to a small beach in a town called Huanchaco were we went swimming in the fairly cold water. There were a few pretty big waves further out, but we stayed and played in some smaller waves.

My work is continuing to go well. This week I presented what I have been working on to my co-workers and they were all quite impressed. A new concept that I taught that they are now teaching as well and inviting me to go teach other people is the importance of keeping personal finances and business finances completely seperate, assigning yourself a salary and paying tithing on that, while keeping the rest of the earnings within the business to invest or do other things. I guess that wasn't quite fully understood before.

I am starting to realize that this next weekend Stacey arrives so I have a lot more planning to do this week to get all of that arranged, but that should be fun and I am excited to see stace and show her around here a bit and go exploring to other areas.

The food is still very good, and although I had some stomach trouble with too much sausage that I ate on Monday, things are returning to normal. I'll try to come up with some themes for future posts; like transportation, construction of Trujillo buildings, health, streets, the family I live with, etc. Any suggestions? Take care!
