Heat wave

We know why God didn't call us to San Pedro Sula, the industrial capital, it is the heat. I visited there a few months ago and it felt like an oven when I stepped out of my air conditioned car. I grew up in comfortable and cool Washington state and I had never sweated so much as I did that day. The only problem is that this past week Tegucigalpa has felt like San Pedro. Even now as I am writing this it is late at night and I am still sweating. It just makes me so glad for rainy season which should start in the next few weeks.
Today someone in the neighborhood was cooking fish. The whole house stunk like fish. I lit all the scented candles that I had, but when there is no wind there is only so much that you can do to get rid of that strong smell. Thankfully about 6:00 pm the candle smell was stronger than the fish.
My health seems to be improving. I have taken it easy since Tuesday when I had a hard day. I now am teaching school in the morning and then after taking it easy. It makes a lot more work for Jason, but we decided that I should keep this schedule for a week. If I don't have any more bad days then I will start to do a few more a week until I slowly work my way back up to full schedule. Most of all I do not want to suffer a full relapse.
Praise the Lord Jason scheduled another meeting today. We start furlough in exactly 60 days and there is much to do. My fear is that we will not be fully booked or that we will not visit enough new churches to get our support level raised to what it should be. I am praying that God will have His perfect will in our meetings. I know that worrying is not needed, but that is what I struggle with the most.
