I found out what the cause of my sickness was, so here is the story. At CISNA they have a water cooler and I asked them a few times if the water was purified or not and they assured me that it was so obviously I took their word for it. I drank a TON of that water because I was really worried about being dehydrated and all that. Over the weekend I started to feel better (since I wasn´t at the center drinking that water) and then on Monday and Tuesday I felt sick again. Finally on Tuesday, I mentioned that my water tasted a little funny and two of the guy interns told me that they had seen them refill that water cooler in the faucet outside and carry it back to the center. So basically I had been drinking unpurified water this whole time and that is why my stomach was so angry with me.
It was good to know the cause so that I don´t have to be afraid to eat the food anymore. I still won´t eat the frijoles in the house though. Haha. Yesterday I felt a ton better so for dinner I ate pupusas, which are amazing! I am definitely going to miss those when I come home!
Tomorrow we are taking the day off from the centers and we are going to paint the living room in the house. It really needs it so I´m excited to do that for the girls. They are really happy about it.
Can´t believe I´ve almost been here for two weeks!
thats great to hear! no more tainted water haha.... blah. i got sick from the water while in Mexico a couple years ago on a mission trip... such a horrible feeling
