Worms are part of serving in other countries but these are the worms Masen will have for dinner tonight.

This is Masen's e-mail from Monday. It's a bit short, but he wrote Tayden an e-mail where he gives advise to his little brother about playing football.  Tayden is lucky to have a big brother who loves and cares about him as well as the other siblings.
Masen's reference to my "faith" is in response to my e-mail where I told him that every day last week I would look at the picture of him baptizing in the river and think to myself..."he is just like John the Baptist in the wilderness--so amazing!" Then one day it hit me..."HE IS IN THE RIVER"--parasites...bacteria...please tell me you are wearing shoes!
 
First things first. where is your faith? ha ha ha ha im a missionary
and im not doing anything wrong so god will protect me, and im not
stupid enough to not take stuff to get better so dont worry. i
probably do have a parisite of something, but it hasent hurt me yet.
ha ha ah ah hahaah oh ya i will have a worm in my stomache tonight
just so you know. ill send you the picture of what im going to eat.
its so discusting, and it will probably only be in my stomache for 30
seconds. ha ha
read taydens email. i sent him a load of stuff that i am learning. its
really nerdy and missionary, but its tight. i know you will like it.
one thing i need for my health is a balance band. 20 or 30 doesnt
matter, but i need the best. i get alot of headaches here becuase of
the sun and the stress. but im loving life. my comp is the best and we
always laugh. its all good here. a little tough in the missionary
work.
got to go love you all.

The "worm in his stomach" is referring to a worm that they eat in the Peruvian Jungles called "Suri". Eating one is a missionary rite of passage. This is what they look like:

Suri is a clean food rich in protein and palm oil.
