For the first time in my life, I have come down with malaria. Believe me, it is one miserable disease! Headache, fever, insomnia, and loss of appetite, is what I have been experiencing for the last 4 days. I am on the second day of treatment, and have felt better already, although the effects of the meds keep one from feeling totally back to normal.<\/p>\n
The good news is, that last week I started teaching chronological Bible lessons to a group of villagers. I have experienced God’s grace in this. I started out with many uncertainties in my mind. Would I be able to communicate? Would anyone show up?<\/p>\n
The first 10 or more lessons have been written in the language, so that has helped greatly. It may be too early to say, but I think I am beginning to even improve in speaking the language from all the exposure to the terms and phrases, etc. used in teaching. Also much time spent with the translators (Edite’s brother and sister) and getting the translation of the lessons written has helped me learn a lot.<\/p>\n
We had to cancel the last two days due to my malaria, but I hope to continue tomorrow (April 13th).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
