Its been a few months since I wrote to give you a sign that I’m still out here, hopefully doing what I’m supposed to be doing and or getting by without too many hitches. I can’t guarantee a hitch free report but I can narrate and hope that you can measure the process of my work and not the impact... just yet.
I blinked and its been a year later!!!!!!
Guinea worm reduced in Savelugu 92%, I smell a celebration party or an excursion soming rite up. Burkina perhaps.?
Was sitting in a meeting with several respected people in the community today when someone asks my name, I remind her as I have several times, and she proceeds to look for its meaning in the oxford English dictionary that was peacefully ignoring us on the table. Remarkably I don’t leap to explain to her that my name is not even English, and that there was no way in heaven that it would be relaxing in an oxford dictionary.
HASH, a 4 mile run with expatriates, nationals and almost everything in between was quite possibly the most fun I’ve had in the company of strangers since I have been in country, and away from site. Could be because this pleasant memory situates itself between moments of low contemplation and perhaps times of seemingly unbearable personal Distings. Its always nice to make new friends and get a glimpse into other pilgrim stories. We are all going somewhere, some know exactly where and others will be elated at the surprises that God has in place for us.
Christmas is here, again and Im still away from home!!! Do I feel the sneaky melancholy cloud creeping over me? Yes, but still feeling with my tentacles and letting the people crash into me and me into them, so all is well.
Till next time…. Zaasuma
