1. Do not take doxycycolin (aka malaria medicine) while lying down or with anything less than a cup of water. Apparently you can burn your throat and cause very intense inflammation.
2. Do not take Ibuprofen when taking doxy it creates more swelling because the two drugs conflict.
3. Eat soft food nothing acidic.
I took an eventful trip to the clinic today when I woke up this morning and was struggling to take deep breaths. The lovely doctor sent me for some tests... I do not have malaria. And got me a nice bunch of anitbiotics to get rid of my cold and my swelling and to help me breath again. God is good. Always.
The verse that the lord has been giving me through these somewhat stressful times is
1 Thessaloninans 5;16-17
Always be joyful. Never stop praying.
This trip continues to surprise me at every turn but I am thankful to be here. I am thankful that God knew what it would take to help me learn and when things have gotten hard and not what I expected... he has been there. Reminding me that my prayers do have power and that he does listen to every word I say. even when I am living in his will I can still tell him how I feel and what I need.
This is our last week in Zambia and things have not been as imagined but I am learning. i am honored to be here with this team. And have been realizing all the good that is going to come from this trip. I got to talk to my family this week which really helped. I am so thankful for all your prayers and support. It means so much to me.
P.S.
Mom this purity ring was the best gift you have ever given me. I have now gotten out of over a dozen marriage proposals and even a few kisses. I just smile and say no... sorry married. Most of the time it works. A few have told me i shouldnt be married one girl got asked if she would divorce her \husband. they are quite persistant.
prayers for our team this week would be great!!! Love you all.
