These are the 2 new additions to the host family since the last time I was here in Arequipa. One is a mutt with German Shepherd somewhere in him and the other is a Peruvian hairless dog. The Incans bread these dogs to be a bed warmer (like a living electric blanket!). My host family says that they cure all kinds of ailments. One of my host brothers lays him by a sore muscle and swears that the next day his soreness in his muscle doesn't bother him anymore. Another one of my host brothers says when he had a sore throat, he would put the dog on his throat and the soreness goes away. I'm still a little skeptical... and i don't really want to sleep with a dog lying on my throat. That would be awkward.

I need to get one of those hairless miracles to cure my sinus problems. Of course that would mean sleeping with him on my nose.
The host family would probably love to see that trick. It probably would have the reverse effect though... I'd probably end up with hair on my tongue or something. Love you!
Dad, you should get Shatzi and stick him on your nose. Maybe the Germans accidently put the same sort of miracle cures in dachshunds! Love you!
Joel... So glad to finally get your blog address. Also glad you are there safe & sound. I have added a special category on the cover of the Prayer List for: Our Missionary: Joel McAlister. It will first appear this coming Sunday so people will remember to pray especially for you in Peru. We are proud of you. May God continue to guide & watch over you these six months. Many Blessings...Joanna Robertson (Church Secretary)
