My friend
I woke up this morning and my legs were aching a little but I thought maybe that was from planting peanuts and exercising last night. After our first service this morning, I realized what I had: yes my friend came to visit, malaria again. I am not to bad because I caught it early and took medicine but I hope this will inspire all of us to pray for missionaries all across the world. Its not easy suffering but I have come to realize that many times it is necessary.
I went to our main work (Cissin) and preached even though I didn’t feel good and feel like preaching. God blessed and we had one profession of faith. Amen! I am often reminded about what the Apostle Paul said, “For when I am weak, then I am strong.” I have often experienced how true this can be. God moved in a wonderful way this morning. Just goes to show you who is actually doing the work. Not ME! Amen!

Thanks for the prayers. They are much needed. I thought that I would be able to go tonight but I have decided to stay because I have a really high fever. I feel that it might be breaking.
