Have you seen this?

haha yeah. ive been to south america. it was just like that in peru. and peru was BEAUTIFUL. i would go back in a second. and yes! post pictures!

I'll do it tomorrow when I find my cell's usb cable =D I also have a video my mom did but I sound sooooooo rude

Alll south americans are like that =D I want to go to Peru and Colombia and Brazil and Argentina, damn! I just want to walk the world!!!

hahaha i always spell brazil with an s now. all my years of spanish are getting to me! but yeah. peru is AMAZING! AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING! you should go! but no! dont go without me! rofl! lima is nice, but the pollution is really bad. but i love how its above sea level, but its right on the ocean! miraflores, in lima, is AMAZING. la plaza de armas! oh my! and i was also in huancayo. its in a valley in the andes. the poverty is terrible though. we would go back to the bible college crying most night, it was horrible. but GO GO GO!

You really loved it lol

I believe you when you say how beautiful everything is!! About poverty too >.<... waaa soo many places!!! I sooooooo have to travel all over the world, every country has something unique.

Oh >.< I believe you, I remember I read your story about the girl who called you Maria always, I think. It is what it is and its there where things needs to be done, but the power to do something meaningful owns to goverments, but they prefer to get money for THEM and screw what happens to others >.<

oh i did! it was the best month of my life.

it really is. and the poverty... =[. let me find a picture.


^^ thats the best example i have on facebook. but it gets much worse than that.

yeah =/. i know which story you mean. a lot of the kids called me maria. they couldnt say mary lol! so i just started telling them my name was maria.

oh goodness. now i really miss peru. =[.

so you get some more pictures. its your fault amy! when im homesick for peru i force people to look at pictures lol!




^ thats an orphanage.


^some little boy took this of his house.





i think im done! hahaahaha

hahaha, Its ok. I love pics!

The little girl just killed me She is so pretty and so sad what a shit-y situation, really. Its so similar to every place in south america that have been forgotten.

SO MANY KIDS IN ONE ORPHANAGE!!!

I hope all those kids try to have a better future. What's sad is that normally it becomes in some kind of cycle and their lives keep being the same, hopefully it wont be that way =) That travel was a great thing to do Mary!

i'm PRETTY sure that girl was at the all-girls orphanage we went to, but i'm not for sure.

it is! it's so so so so sad.

and we're in that picture too lol! there were like 20 of us... but yeah! there were so many kids there!

i know! =[. i wanted to take them all home with me.

it was amazing for me as well. i'll never forget it. i'm going to try SO hard to go to mexico this summer. it's $1000 for two weeks. i could do it if i work my butt off. if not mexico, then ecuador. ecuador is over $2000, but i would love to go. i'm going job hunting this week, so that i can try.

Wow. Those actually make me want to adopt some kids. That's so sad.

it's horrible. i want to at least adopt one kid when i get married. for somewhere in south america. an older kid, but not too old. like 4 or 5.

I hate children, but I'll think about adopting some day maybe.

I dont like children either, but I think I could adopt one, just to know there will be one of them that hopefully have a better future

awww! i love kids! one of the saddest things from my mission trips was 1) listening to the stories of the kids in the orphanages in peru. and 2) playing with the kids who lived in the garbage dump in mexico.

I dont like them, but that would kill me.... kids are just not made to live bad things

I love kids. Period. Total maternal instinct. Whenever I see cute kids in the supermarket, I stop and play with them. All my friends think it's really cute how I go gaga over kids.

oh goodness cousin! same here! LMAO!

You wouldn't like kids if you lived at my house.

probably not sister! but not all kids are like your siblings!

^ in exact agreement!

But after living with my siblings so long, I don't want to have to deal with ANY crying child, any fighting, ANYTHING.

I can understand that, dude

Ugh. Children just infuriate me.

that makes sense i guess!

Children automatically make me smile.

I'll send my siblings to you then.
