Highlights
Much has happened the last few weeks, so I'll stick to the highlights...
*I had a fire in my oven- trying to learn how to make yoghurt and had left a batch in the oven in a tupperware container wrapped in towels to "ferment." And yes, I forgot about it, turned the oven on to make dinner, the towels caught on fire, quite a mess. Good-bye beloved kitchen towels and tupperware!
*I was told I'm not an official African missionary until I get malaria... well, now I'm official! Went to get tested last week and had a count-3. My friend and nurse, Erin Carter (working here in a clinic for 6 months) said they usually hospitalize those with count 3-5 if there are other symptoms. Thankfully my only symptom was fatigue. I started on some medicine and stayed home and slept for 3 days. I'm so thankful it was such a minor case!
*Got to go to the Serengeti!!! Some friends were planning a camping trip, so I decided that was the perfect use of my Christmas money! spent 2 full days in the national park looking at animals and lots of birds (the Tans are serious birders!). Then we spent 2 nights just outside the Serengeti relaxing at a campground. What a treat! My fourth time to be in Africa and I finally get to see some giraffes! :-)
Gordon and Peggy Tans, Erin Carter, and me.
Can you find the leopard?
25 elephants crossed the road right in front of us!
