I recently received this Thank You note on my pillow….
Dear Michelle,
We can not thank you enough for all you do for us! Your generosity far outshines those who have gone before. We have many missionaries in these parts, but we all agree, your contribution has been the sweetest! Day after day, night after night, you tirelessly serve us, giving us all we ask for. Your quiet agreement has not gone unnoticed and we have been telling all of our associates about you. You may have noticed others coming from far and wide, just to be with you. Your time in our country is far too short, but do not fear, we have sent out mass communications to our partners in your next country alerting them to your coming arrival. They are ready and waiting :0) We know that you take a piece of us with you when you go because we know we have left our mark on your life. Come back again to visit any time! If we could sneak into your pack and follow you on the road, we just might :0)
All our love,
The Bugs (mosquitoes, fire ants, bed bugs, and friends)
This seems so silly to ask for, but PLEASE PRAY FOR ME! I am being completely eaten alive! The itching and burning and itching goes on day and night. I'm pretty sure I picked up bed bugs at our last hostel and it is going to be a huge pain to get rid of them. The mosquitoes never stop. My bug spray (even though it was locked shut and in a ziplock bag) completely emptied into my pack, eating through the ziplock, and saturating everything. My waterproof stuff sac got eaten away by the toxins. Please also pray for my fear of bugs. As bad as the bugs are, my fear of them is worse. I find it hard to sleep (we are sleeping in our tents even though we are inside because the bugs are so bad). I don't want anything to hold me back from being full-in with whatever the Lord asks me to do or wherever He asks me to go.
