Sickness

I am so tired of being sick. I have done a lot of research online and found out that 15% of all Hepatitis A cases have relapses within 6 months. I am trying to be still and do nothing as once again today I have been having pains, but I feel as if I am missing out on life. As this is the second time in three days that I have had problems, Jason has told me I am not allowed out of bed for a few days. Tomorrow is the birthday party of one of the missionary kids that is Audrey's age. I bought her a gift a few days ago, but haven't wrapped it yet. Hopefully I will be allowed to get up and do that tomorrow. I am not a good sick person.

I am so thankful for a couple boxes of books that came in the mail three weeks ago. They were sent M-Bag. Did you know that you can send books internationally for $1./lb. It may take a few months to get there, but you can't beat the price. Another missionary told me about it and it is wonderful.

Today I had to go to Wendy's and take back a salad. I was eating it the other night when I was sick (we had lost power that day and my crock-pot dinner didn't cook) and Jason took the kids out to eat so he didn't have to cook and clean up. I had eaten almost half of a Chinese Chicken Salad, which by the way are very good, when I found a nut (the kind the fits on a screw) in my salad. Being Honduras I was not sure if they would give me a replacement, but they were very kind and even gave me a free drink. I was hoping they would throw in the kids meals too, but they weren't that sorry. :-)

Please continue to pray for Jason and I as we struggle with my sickness. Jason has been so great. He helps out a lot, but he is also trying to book meetings for furlough so this diversion has been hard on him.
