Acclimate, Acclimate, Accli....whoa, let me catch my breath.

Casa Del Aguila consists of an orphanage, school, small clinic, housing, along with other projects in progress.  The farm is surrounded by mountains.  It is absolutely beautiful.  Yesterday was "Acclamation Day".  Back home we are about 250 ft above sea level.  Here we are around 8000 feet.  We took it pretty easy while giving our bodies time to adjust to the altitude.  Altitude sickness is no joke, however I've laughed at myself a few times.  Yesterday after lunch my friend Jana was trying to take a picture of a butterfly.  I thought it would be funny to jump and scare the butterfly away.  Joke was on me though.  I got light headed and my heart felt like it was going to beat out of my chest!  Other than a slight to moderate headache and being very easily winded, I'm adjusting well to the difference in altitude.  Some of our team members are having a little more trouble with nausea, dizziness, and fatigue, so please keep them in your prayers! 

Here is a few photos of the farm and the gorgeous view!
