I woke up yesterday morning feeling nauseous and exhausted. I think I must have caught some kind of virus at the tent city. I ended up with diarrhea and vomiting all day, but it was okay because they were having some sort of riot by the palace because the President was coming to the palace which caused us to stay on base all day. The people started placing voodoo curses on the President the night before last. We could hear them yelling and screaming at four in the morning. I wake up almost every night to someone doing voodoo somewhere. They're really loud and it's kind of strange to wake up to. If I don't wake up to that, it's the crazy chickens. They're so annoying. I don't even know how we had chickens for so long on Whidbey. I am about ready to shoot one. Anyways, we weren't allowed to leave the orphanage at all yesterday because apparently whenever they have riots like that, they start to attack white people because they think we can do something about it. It's really dangerous for us to be out and about while that's going on. I'm not really sure if anything happened and we haven't heard anything about it. I'm really glad it happened on the day I got sick though, because I was basically stuck in a bed the entire day. I stayed back today from everything the team did because I still wasn't feeling great. It was so peaceful and I had like 6 hours to myself. It was so great just to rest and spend time with Jesus. I spent a lot of time praying for the team, which was great as well. It was tough for me not to go with them, but now I'm feeling completely back to normal. Apparently they had an awesome day with lots of healings and prayer. After mini DTS, they did food distribution in the poorest area of Port-au-Prince. I so wish I could have gone with them, yet today was such a blessing as well. I'm sure I'll have plenty more opportunities for ministry soon.

   Well in order to shoot one, you'd need a gun...and you'd need to not be afraid to SHOOT the gun ;-) But I'm glad you're feeling better!!
