Its been too long scince ive updated. Things have changed a lot! Im now back in the U.S. due to medical reasons. I contracted shistosomiasis (Bilharzia) from swimming in Lake Malawi. I developed a severe infection in my bladder, rectum, intestines, and cervix. I had to leave Malawi with only a few days notice. Now I have been back in the states since May 8th and have just been concentrating on getting back into good health. Now I am getting there and will perhaps go back to Malawi. The future is uncertain but I'm learning to live in the present and enjoy the good things offered at the time. For now, thats hangin with my sister and nephew, both of which I have not seen for more than 2 years. Im also enjoying cable t.v. way too much. Other perks of this life... hot showers, air conditioning, driving, good doctors, cleanliness, margarita's, cheese fries, mexican food, ice cream, movie theaters, gyms, pools and fast portable internet.

Me and Linds spent 2 months in this tent 2gether. We are at the lake eatin chz and crackers

Fist day of Lind's visit, we went straight to scrabble and beer

The beautiful island of Chizimulu

The resort we stayed at, which costs only 5 dollars a night

Happy Newyear!!

Things are still good, tomorrow is our COS conference, which means we are ending our service here. So for 1 week I will be back on the lake. Christmas was wonderful on the island. Except I got some nasty infection on my arm. New Years was spent in Nkata Bay with 25 PCV's. We danced late into the night. Inbetween the trips to the lake Im still working with WESM in Lilongwe and I will probably continue to do so for the next year or more. So here's some photo's. Take Care, I really miss everyone. Please write. (Chi--why no phone calls, is Jake influencing you again?)
