Sick Days

So yesterday I woke up with a funny feeling in my stomach,

but I began the day as normal with some toast a la peanut butter and jam. 

However by 10 oclock, half way through Swahili lessons, 

I was starting to feel nauseated, so the lessons were cut short and I began to rest. 

Later I saw my friend John briefly, but also had to cut that time short

due to nausea again. From the afternoon on I was in bed all day, 

with nausea, fever, body aches and fatigue.

So English lessons yesterday and this morning were cancelled.

Today I have been feeling better, with only mild fatigue and cramps.

However I went with my pastor to a hospital just for a check up and some tests

and the test came back positive for malaria.

So I have received my official welcome to Africa. 

Twelve pills a day for the next three days will be on my menu,

but hey, I was praying for a way to switch malaria medication anyway.

Oh life.

Please pray for a quick recovery so I can get back to teaching 

and what God has for me here in Congo.
 

All to God.
