ahhh!!

sorry I havent updated.

last week was a rough week. I was home sick...A LOT. I've never been before and i realized that i dont do well when i am homesick...i litterly get sick...and then i had to get a malaria test because i was so gross...calling my parents at all hours in the night (for them) it was just brutal. so...i decided to stay at the canadian missionaries house. Got over the homesick feeling really quick that way. but i got to meet a lot of people, a lot of canadian missonaries (one couple which were newfie, it made me happy)

and...the boy i am working with with the signing is going sooo well! i am making him a mini book right now with signs so he can bring it home and keep learning. he is doing so so well with it!! we now learnt toilet! amen! I am enjoying my time at the center so much, but my time is slowly starting to leave and it made me sooo sad yesterday! but i know i have touched some lives in the short time i have been here

well folks, friday i am leaving to climb a mountain with my host family...we are going for 4 days, and the mountain is mount zomba, then a week and a half later we are (myself, edith and one of the other girls ) are going on a safari, 3 days is in zambia and 3 days are at victoria falls!! so i might not write on here in awhile, if you want updates on how i am doing, email my dad: stevebest64@hotmail.com

thanks for all your prayers, i know when i am homesick and feeling down i feel a total power of prayer surrounding me!

  2. Hi Melanie!
    Sounds like you are having a really amazing experience. It seems like you have lots of support and are really making a difference in the lives of those who you work with. That's amazing.
    Being homesick is the worst feeling, but I'm sure it will leave quickly once you start your trip up the mountains. It also makes you appreciate home so much more =)
    Enjoy your last month and we look forward to having our babysitter come home!
    Take care,
    Megan, David and Baby Nigel.
