Yes it is true I am still alive! Yesterday was such a miserable day. I have never been in that much pain before. After five hours we finally went to the doctor who just pushed my stomach and gave me medicine for the pain and nothing to cure it. I called my mom who called my doctor and he was so nice to actually give me a call all the way from San Diego. He figured out that I have a parasite living in my large intestine and that it was causing all the pain. I took some anibiotics and tha pain is now gone! Imana shimwe! (Praise be to God). This trip so far has been such a good time learning about the different culture and language. Skyler and I have really made it a goal to try and learn Kirundi. Everyone is so gracious and kind in our attempts to learn it. The children have found their way into my heart. Off to church again...man I have never been to so many church services in one week. Oh one last thing...Skyler and I got out hair done...we will post pictures in a couple of days.

Holy smokes. There is something living inside your body. I'm not going to tell my mom about that until after I'm in africa. Hope things are going great man.
Emily,
No bringing home visitors from Burundi, leave all parasites at the boarder. I think your hair must look great, you probably blend right in, although, I am always able to ID you in the crowd shots because of the sunglasses. But now with the dreds, whoa momma, better change that passport photo.
Thank you so much for taking care of my Skyler and sharing your room, food, luke-warm water, possible husbands, but just say "no" to parasites.
If you are feeling alittle heavier it is because we are covering you with prayer, so enjoy the extras.
Don't stop believin'

PS- you ARE making a difference
