June 28th, 2008

It is another rainy day here in Middletown Springs and HOT!  I consider this good training for moving to an equatorial region of the world.   We have much to be thankful for here in Vermont, like not worrying if we are going to contract Malaria or Dengue Fever every time a mosquito bites us!  We have gotten through a week of trying to pre-medicate ourselves and have come to the realization that immunizations and Malaria drugs are great...but not 100% effective.  We are trying to not to worry to much about what will be and instead focus on what is.  We are almost totally immunized (except for a few more shots that Chris has to get) and my arms are almost back to normal.  I have to say that the doctors and nurses over in Dartmouth are FANTASTIC and we are feeling very "prepped" for what we should expect upon arrival in Nigeria.  We are going to keep plugging away at packing our lives up and selling/giving away our belongings this week.  If anyone would like anything...give us a call! Until the next posting.....

First off - procrastination skills clearly run in the family. Weeks ago I created a website at like 1am to avoid doing a project I didn't want to do. This is one of he better procrastination methods I've ever seen. So kudos for that.

Otherwise, I hear that prayer, the acceptance of jesus as your savior, and emergen-C will protect you from any of the strange elements that you may face in Nigeria.

Also, don't forget to take trinkets and shiny baubles! I hear you can buy huge tracts of land for like a marble and the thimble from monopoly.
