Onset to symptoms

Although three members of my Haitian family have malaria, none of the kids beginning school on Monday have it (yet). I’m not sure if they are excited or sad about that. And their teacher doesn’t have it either… I know Paige is praying that changes quickly.

Going over curriculum today. Sounds pretty late right, since I start teaching on Monday? WRONG. I am just waiting on Troy to feel good enough to make my workstation out of Mennonite-approved wood. And for Tara to stop being sick long enough to sew me some new bonnets.

My shower is full of mosquitoes. So even though I want to stay in the cold water for as long as possible, I get bitten multiple times. Current count: 23 and rising. Doesn’t make me want to stay in there past getting all the shampoo out.

HOWEVER, I love this country already. Maybe it’s because I’m surrounded by terrific people. Probably. If only their house doesn’t give me malaria… that will be the true test.

I learned how to do a prenatal exam yesterday. It was fun. Hopefully I can be an asset to Heartline while I’m down here!

Check out the POWERFUL bug spray under the kitchen sink. The mosquitos won't have any chance of survival.
