Im sure hoping not, but I woke up with one heck of a headache this morning. Not promising because I have very little explanation for why I might have received this headache.
So, for all those who know of how my coming home from Europe went last time, and how annoying those headaches were, you can appreciate a bit of what Im feeling right now. The only difference is that the headaches arent as severe. But, Im monitoring it closely, because if it gets worse, it will have to be looked at. Keep this item in prayer, because I feel it would be pretty disruptive to my internship.
Ive been encouraged to write more often, just shorter amounts. But, Im sorry that my blog can sometimes be an outlet to rant. Really, my time here has picked up lots. I had a great weekend wandering around the village, talking with random people. In the evenings, I hung out with the American family and the lady downstairs. I knew I would be in the villages this coming week, so I figured I would juice up on the 'known' before leaving and not having much to do potentially in the evenings.
I had a fun time the other day creating a little table thing in my room made of broken bricks and wooden slats weaved together. People here usually use something like that as fencing or to protect trees from animals. This was some scrap I found lying around, so I figured I could use it. And the ensemble, although a little sketch and ghetto, works just fine.
Other than that, I am waiting to go to Diakhao (Djia how), waiting for the driver. Trying to get over my headache, and figured I could use the time to write a bit.
I also await the arrival of my Cdn supervisor, Doug, who will be arrive in Diakhao on Tuesday. So, his timing is great, because Im just starting to get down to the village level and his supervision would be appreciated.
NEwho, as I promised, Ill keep this short, and I'll try to write less more often, like, you know, more often, just less. You know what I mean! Ha ha ha

We will certainly keep you in our prayers. Praying that the headache isnt anything related to your shunt. No offence..but we dont want to see you back here, or away from your work with World vision.

Hey Alex, I discovered through John that you both have a blog and are in Senegal. I hope you are doing well, and that your headaches do not amount to anything serious. Looking forward to reading more of what you are doing over there, and may God bless you richly!
