Down with the Flu

I am pretty bummed out right now. I am struggling with a low-grade fever and am really tired today and it looks like I might have come down with the flu. I don't know when this happened exactly, or what my exposure has been, but it has been physically difficult to adapt to living among the poor. I have had a cough for two weeks, and last night was when I started feeling really ill. The heat, smog, and mosquitoes have all contributed to a lack of rest. Please pray that I will get the rest I need as well as our team leader Kuya Willy (I think he has the same thing). Also, since we are being sick among the poor, it would be pretty disheartening if people get sick in the community since the opportunity for proper health care is lacking.

Thanks for your prayers.

Dog Days of Summer (a very cold summer though)

Now that school is over, I am into the next season of EDGE corps. That means fundraising! :|. It's a neutral face because though I know this was a great experience in light of trusting God, it is some hard work and speaks to my weaknesses (admin, finances, long-term projects). Please pray that this new journey will be an experiencing of God. I hope to be back on campus by August 25, but my budget has increased a few thousand dollars and I am going to this little trip called... the Philippines!!!!!! (read next post). When I get overwhelmed, it is easy for me to hoist the white flag of surrender. I know God is good. Thanks for your prayer!
