One of my favorite songs is 'Blessed Be Your Name'. It's been a fav for a while now, but this morning it took on a whole new meaning. Standing in a hot & humid room in the middle of Africa with over 100 fellow desert workers singing 'Blessed be your name, when I'm found in the desert place, though I walk through the wilderness, blessed be your name' I realized that I'm actually living this and I'm not alone in it either.
On a lighter note, last night we were hit with a swarm of termites. Only these aren't termites like we have in the States. They were bigger than any dragonfly that I've seen. It was so strange. The power was out during dinner (so we ended up with a candlelit dinner which wasn't so bad) and when the power came back on they bugs came. They were everywhere and it was crazy! Little kids were running around screaming and it was just gross. But then the wierdness happened. All of the sudden the bugs were gone and their wings were all over the ground. It was then that we realized the bugs dropped their wings and were now crawling all over the floor. Then, the Africans ran outside and started picking them up and eating them. I thought about trying one....well not really. It was pretty much one of the grossest things that I've seen since I got here!

I love you Heather. I do think that the bug thing had to be pretty gross. What interesting stories you will have to tell your children one day.
Take care and be careful.
Love,
Mom
ah, you should have tried one. then you could write down in your journal that today, "I have eaten a bug, and I'll never do it again; well, unless they make me!"
good to hear about the singing. we sang the same song here the other day. whether in joy or suffering, blessed be that name.

Hey girl! I found your blog! I hope you are doing well and the job is good. It is fun to read your blog posts. Did they really eat the bugs, because that is really gross and hard to believe. Update when you get a chance and have a good week. :) (oh yeah, and if you find my blog, don't laugh!) Ok, that's all. -Alison
