Down and Out

This is Jackie. Yesterday was a pretty good day for most people, except Evie (the missionary who is our guide for the trip) and I. We were down and out, with suspected food poisoning from the meal that we shared at the airport, waiting for the rest of the crew to arrive. Yesterday was spent in bed but today we're both up and about, feeling a lot better. Our hope is that it actually was food poisoning, as opposed to the flu so the rest of the team doesn't get it as well.

The team reported back with a good day at the site. The labor was a bit less tedious and grueling. No more moving bricks! They helped hoist up some rafters for a roof and did some more painting. It sounded like they had a lot of fun and had some laughs with their Tanzanian counterparts.

We were treated to a delicious meal from our Korean friends last night. Just like home and what I needed to settle my stomach. Kimchi really does cure it all! This morning we had some leftover side dishes and juk (rice porridge) with some gim. Mmmm...delicious! Home cooking at its best.
