Hi Everyone!

Sorry I haven't written in a while! The electricity has been very unstable this past week and it's been impossible to get on the internet! I've been sick this week as well, but Pastor Dongo took me to the doctor yesterday and I am doing much better. I developed a bad cough and couldn't breath. The doctor said I had a virus due to pollution and dust, etc, that my body is not used to. I got plenty of medicine and I am feeling much better. Cool thing though...so last night, I was laying in bed trying to go to sleep and the owner of the field directly behind my room at the hotel started burning waste, crops, or whatever else you burn. I'm used to this as he does it a couple of times a week. All the sudden the Holy Spirit reminded me that as a child I was very allergic to smoke and often had asthma attacks. It's something I never experience in the States because I'm not exposed to large amounts of smoke. So, I asked to move rooms, which should happen soon, and I am confident I will no longer be struggling with this whole sickness thing! I have missed a couple days of school and can't wait to get back to see the kids!

Please pray for the teachers and students of God Cares Primary School because many of them are also suffereing from illness due to the environment. Specifically, please pray God heals Teacher Justine and her children!

I love yall! Thanks as always for the prayers! God uses each of you to encourage me and remind me of His grace everyday!
