Back from the North! (Lauren sent July 20th)

The north was soo amazing! There's no way for me to describe it all
now, but here are a few highlights: 16 hrs in a crowded African bus on
bad roads through mountains, drinking local beer from a gourd,
balancing a bundle of wood on my head for over 2 miles (the villagers
thought this was hilarious. I even got a marriage proposal, lol),
climbed a mountain, climbed a tree on top of said mountain, saw the
beautiful stars, saw the place Macklann wants to have the retreat
center! (its beautiful and very perfect. I took lots of pics).

Please keep my health in your prayers. Since weve got back, i've
not been feeling very well-- digestive stuff I think. It may have been
something I ate up north. I took some meds though and hopefully it
will be better tomorrow. I am so thankful that I have not had any
worse health problems so far though.

  2. Ignore that lulu said--I was editing the blog and tried to post a comment.
    Mom here--I want to know what the beer tasted like and how big was the gourd? Maybe that's what gave you a tummy ache? Tell us more about the marriage proposal!
