I have come back to the closest town today for a little meeting with other volunteers. I was greeted with multiple messages from my family on my phone from the week prior when I was phoneless. My loving great aunt has been hospitalized, and it takes all my strength to be here right now and not jump on the next bus to the next bus to the next bus to the next plane to the next plane back to the states right now and hold my grandmother and mother´s hands through the surgerys. I can only put all of my strength into my faith and prayers today, and hope that friends and family can do the same.
A fellow volunteer´s friend from the states has come to peru to visit and brought their fiddle. I hope that I can distract myself into having fun and feeling a little bit of the united states through music tonight.
