two weeks left in the states and time has flown. i have literally done next to nothing the past four weeks and it's been great. this past week has been a bit busier as i've read lots, laid out, had lunch with a supporter, went to a women's prison for a bible study, and the past couple days i have been in joplin (where i went to college) to meet up with old friends. i began going to the women's prison last summer when i was here and i look forward to it so much. as we got there i was asked to share. i was quite unprepared, but felt i should share from Ps. 91 and 120 -chapters that sustained me in Botswana. after i finished, a woman who had just been transferred to this particular facility that day said that she had re-dedicated her life a few weeks before when a pastor preached from those exact chapters and she really needed to hear them again. God is so faithful!
here's a story. when i went to joplin, i had my hair cut and highlighted. it had been several months, so i was due. i went to this crazy little salon that was painted purple and had a zebra striped claw bathtub on a shelf. it was great. i told stacey, my stylist, that i was really just getting highlights to cover up a few gray hairs (i'm only 26! thanks for those genes, mom.). she said she couldn't even notice them, but when she got to a spot right on the top of my head, she stopped and said, "oh my gosh! you're right! i can't believe all this gray hair! i'm 10 years older than you and this is way more than i have!" (all these exclamation points are needed). thanks, lady. i'm paying you to cut my hair, not comment on it.
here's to growing old with grace (and hair color)...

A hair cut eh? That sounds about needed for me too. So when exactly do you return from the states? what day and times. Maybe we're around the same.
I hope you're enjoying your last week and a bit. I know mine is rapidly feeling off and possibly becoming quite caoitc. But enjoy
Ive noticed that my hair is starting fall out scince i have been home. It's either the Malaria, or Im going bald. We're in this struggle together.
