Dear Diary,

Hi.. Sorry it's taken me so long to write.  As you probably already know I didn't get to go.  I prob should have written this a long time ago pero I couldn't really deal with it.  Partly from being upset that I didn't go & partly because I got pretty sick about the same time... As soon as I got to feeling better I went to visit my cousin in El Paso & had a great time :). 
The rest of the team made it to Afrika just fine.  Have gotten several emails from Amy telling me all the news.  They dont have too much longer to go now,  teaching already underway.  That's going pretty good, for the most part anyway lol.  Before teaching they did lets start talking & stuff & Baptized 20 people!  4 peple (or at least that's the last number I got) have gotten malaria, pero they are ok.... I'ts been decided that larium doesn't work anymore & that it wont be used next year. 
I guess that is all I really can say.  About to add  to my site with last years journal, so the site wont be for nothing... & hopefully I'll get to add to it agian someday.  Not giving up on Afrika lol.  Kwaheri!
