no name

i just had dinner with mim and ron. they've got me so excited about kenya. they answered my questions and explained away my concerns. they're excitement is contagious. not only am i feeling excited about kenya, my hurt of yesterday has been flushed down the toilet. i'm going to choose to not spend another second of my time aching over that. i digress... i saw lots of pictures of the hospital and the countryside and the house and the market. its going to be amazing! i'm really excited. i can't wait. this is gonna be good. i love mim and ron. they fed me liver. i'm not sure if i've ever had liver before, the texture is a little odd, but i'm sure i could get used to it.

oh, i have an announcement to make. we currently have the following FRIEND VACANCIES:
knitting friends (in the absence of joanna and dawna)
rock-star friends (in the absence of alison)
random visitor friends (in the absence of beckie)
kindred spirit/best/like a sibling friends (in the absence of melinda)
i'm telling you... if i have one more friend move away i just don't know what i'm going to do! vinc' is leaving next month, so then there will be a "foreigner friend" vacancy.

well i'm going to tuck my pajama pants into my sox and get into bed with my hotwater bottle. i've got the cramps.

please email me your prayer requests, i need something else to talk to God about other than "OH GOD PLEASE HELP ME!!!"

the steadfast love of the lord never ceases.
his mercies never come to an end.
they are new every morning. new every morning.
great is thy faithfulness oh lord. great is thy faithfulness.

please pray that both sheldon (the flu) and my ankle (sprained) get better quickly... this household won't last long with two of us incapacitated at the same time.
