What I'm Thankful For

I am thankful for...

- Not having headaches from my scalp infection or malaria over Thanksgiving

- For my loving host family that serves me wonderful food, treats me with respect although I am a woman,  and are so much fun to hang out with

- Having a bountiful feast for Thanksgiving

- Being able to use the SM hut. It has helped me keep my sanity.

- THE PARKERS!! and all the other SMs that have made this trip even more fun

- The TBAs and CHWs. They are working hard and absorbing all the knowledge we place before them. They are truely making an impact in the Bere districts. 

- Naomi. She shows me all the ropes.  Without her I would be hopelessly lost.

- Being able to feed the malnurished children in the hospital. Ya, it gets a little hectic at times because we are giving away free food, but the children love it. Needless to say, they need the food too. 

- The fan that keeps us cool when the temperature is over 100 degrees. It only gets hotter from here. 

- Cold anything!! It is so hot here

- Friends and Family in America

- The internet.  Without it, I wouldn't be able to stay as connected to everyone in the US and share my experiences thus far. 

- God giving me the confidence and courage to keep going, and always being there every step of the way.
