Birthday in Yei.....not

Two years ago I spent my 24th birthday in Kiln, MS. and at least we had indoor plumbing...now, no one even shows up to the party...i threw myself. By the time I ate, the goat was tough and the lentils were cold....again. Thanks for being such loved ones and not even sending an order of wings from Bru's, or at least a pork plate from Tom Jenkins' (I mean spare the 6 bucks!! Seriously) You think I'm bitter...Water and goat for 30 consecutive meals, lunch and dinner, and we'll see who's regular!.....I'm sorry, that did go a little too far. Mom, I apologize...I know your sending some emergency TP and some matches in a care package any day now, I promise I'm not mad. OK before I ruin this blog, I love you all and really appreciate the b-day wishes!! I got to ride the quad (4-wheeler) into town after work today and pick-up a case of African soda (promise) and a jar of pringles...i was shocked too. I promise when I get some down time I'll update everyone on the church rebuild project and explain exactly what it is Samaritan's Purse does in South Sudan....very exciting. Franklin has an incredible vision that needs to be prayed for. In the meanwhile, PLEASE be praying for peace that look oh so fragile....
Signing off, a 15 lbs lighter....me
