I’ve been waking up early (like 5am) and can’t go back to sleep.  Getting a lot of work done!

Just about got all the packing done for the trip to Niger.  Still kind of hard to figure out how much stuff to take.  Does no running water mean no way to wash clothes?  Guess I’ll be kinda funky after a while.  Normally, I go native.  I see what the people wear, and that’s what I adopt.  Not sure the rest of the team is into that concept.  I always figure that the people that live there long term have got clothing that works best.

Trying to rest and get completely over my cold.  Still stopped up.  Please, Lord.  Speed this healing!

I want to go spend time with Jesse.  He likes going to the bookstore with me.

Peace.
