Robin's Missions

3 blogs one week...
when it rains it pours i guess...
don't forget to read the other ones...this one is basically because I can...and it's free...

Here's todays adventures!
Supposedly I should be back at YWAM tonight, but, um, no pick up- hopefully they made it back from Aura (Uganda) a-ok! So, one more night of luxary shared with a room full of bees...no seriously...they've invaded! There are swarms of them! I opened the bathroom door and before it even registered to my brain how many there were the loud sound took me by surprise! They caught fire to half the nest before the gas soaked flaming rag took a dive bomb and almost caught Pastor Dennis on fire- that was exciting. He told me that the locals want to finish the job tonight and as my grass thatched roof is right next to the nest in the big tree, well, I need to be prepared to run! ha! Well all the little stinging critters are dying now(from spray) but they're there and flying around like they're drunk...one was flying and just fell on me and then got itself back up and starting flying again-that's how I woke up from a nap since well, I'm a bit under the weather so...

...they tested me for Malaria today...I think it's just the flu though, 'cause I, thankfully, don't have malaria--though there's that slight part of me that thinks it would be a great missionary story- "when I was in Sudan and had malaria..." Ok, so rationally I'm really glad I don't, but still--In reality it's not too bad, I'm just tired and all my joints are achey... and they tested me twice just to make sure...love livin' with nurses this week...

At church this morning a baby just up and died, one of the village moms and her kid... she was singing and praising and then the baby seemed out of sorts (was recovering from Measles) although seemed healthy enough in the morning..she walked outside for cooler air and it just died... I've seen more death since being here! It's three kids in this area this week- Wow, death is a lot more frequent around here-

Alright, I'm going to go to bed and read--
Hope you enjoy the numerous posts in one week! yipee--
Love to all!
