Welcome to my online journal of my time here in Africa. It started awhile back as I worked on raising the support to go Africa and now I am here. I will be updating it with storeis, pictures, praises and prayer requests as often as I can. Thanks for checking it out!

Oops!
So I slipped on the stairs at church this morning and totally broke my wrist! I had quite the experience getting it taken care of. First my taxi was kind enough to take me home after I fell and then to the hospital after that. It was his day off. He is a good guy! I wnt to the private hospital where they told me that I had to go to the state hospital for the x-ray. I called my friend who drove me around for the next couple of hours. By now we are quite a group. Linda, two of the youth kids, my friend Frieda and her daughter and my friend Christina (the school principal). So I went to the state hospital which is a bit scary for the x-ray which was taken by a woman in a tank top and sweat pants. After that we were sent to the "consultation" room which is the doctors office in town. We all loaded up in the car and went to the doctors office. We got there and the doctor wasn't there so they called her and she was at the private hospital. So, back into the car and back to the private hospital. Finally we found the doctor who checked the x-ray and put on the cast. An AIM doctor was passing through and he stopped to look at the x-rays as well. In a few weeks the cast comes off and I may need another one for two more months. The whole visit to the emergancy room, the doctor visit, the meds, the x-ray and the cast cost less than $100 american dollars. I was really touched by all the phone calls, visits and sms' from all over the world! I am so blessed by an amazing group of friends. I have had quite a day!
