  • Felt good!

    So earlier this week, I had the opportunity to meet with the proprietor of the school in Kasawo.  They were the leading candidate for submission and request of HANDS teams.  In the meeting, I was pleased to have the opportunity to tell this person that they will potentially be receiving foreign teams to come construct their school.  It was quite the moment for him, as it seemed he was close to tears.  Especially considering this culture does not show much emotion.

    So I have been finalizing the paperwork needed and will hopefully submit early next week.  Yes!

    On a less happy note, I am no longer the only stinky person attracting mosquitoes.  Lydia was diagnosed with Malaria on Wednesday.  And Isabel was diagnosed this morning, Thursday.  Even though the outlook is good, please pray for their healing.  There are many studies saying that adverse effects could be a problem.  So we need Divine healing!  In my case, I have felt fine after the first two days.  Lydia, when she has some Advil, you cannot even tell she is sick (thanks Bible studying Chicks from Knapp for all of our drugs!).  Isabel, they said we caught hers very early.  With the exception of some moody-ness, it is hard to tell she is sick either.  But tomorrow is another day, pray that she will take the medication needed to be healed!
