Weekend update

Sorry I don't blog as often as I should. It's getting crazy as we're preparing for outreach and there's so much to do and think about. Only 16 days until I leave! When I'm in Haiti, the updates will probably be few and far between, just so you know. Internet will probably be scarce and for not very long.
This weekend has been just crappy. Emotionally, it's just been crazy. I don't really want to talk about it here, but please just be praying for our school leaders right now. It's a really difficult point in their lives and they just need comfort and hope.
I got sick on Sunday and laid in bed all day. Seriously. I only got up for dinner. My whole body feels so weak and my voice sounds like a man. Today has been equally as crappy since I'm still sick, but actually had to get up and do stuff today. A bunch of us got immunizations and we were at the doctor's office for two hours. The health care here sucks. They don't even take insurance. An immunization should take like 10 minutes at the most. It was just ridiculous.
A team that went to Haiti just got back on Saturday and some of us have been talking to them about it. I think we'll be meeting with them sometime this week, but they have already helped us so much. The things we are going to go through there are just crazy. They said every single one of them had vomiting and diarrhea at least once a week from dehydration. Apparently the water tastes really bad, even when it's filtered. The demonic forces there are apparently super heavy too. They said we'll feel it as soon as we get off the plane. I have a peace about everything, though. I definitely didn't at first, but after praying about it a lot, I feel better. It'll probably be one of the hardest things any of us will ever do, but totally worth it. God has so much planned for us and our trip and I'm just so excited to find out what all of that is!
Want to know what I learned last night at 1:30 AM? A fan blowing directly on your face while you sleep can either kill you or mess up your jaw. Seriously, google 'korean fan death'. And then, just imagine trying to understand all that while someone wakes you up in the middle of the night while you sleep so you don't mess up your face or something. I was so confused. Oh, living in community. Life is never boring here.
