Update

I uploaded some pictures to facebook, but I was informed that you can only view the first one so I'm going to upload them somewhere else and I'll let you all know.

Everything is going well here. I completely over my first case of malaria and I think I made it through the weekend without getting sick again. Yay!

Yesterday (Saturday) I went to my first Sudanese wedding for Asiki and Patricia. It was pretty amazing how many people turned out... even people that weren't invited. Despite the random drunk and crazy people that showed up to get free food and soda, the wedding went off flawlessly. One of the best parts was that it was a beautiful sunny day which was a blessing since we're in the middle of the rainy season. I was named the official cameraman/wedding photographer so I was busy the whole time shooting video and taking pictures.

Well today (Sunday) is a day off. Everybody is tired from the wedding and wants to rest. Two American girls are arriving today. Emily is doing her college internship with e3 and will be living here for three months. Heather is Emily's friend and will be staying here with her for a month. The girls will be teaching local women about health and sanitation. It will be nice to be able to speak normal speed English with someone :)

Well, time for me to get going. I hope you all enjoy the new pictures.

Hey Stephen! Wish I could have been there to see Isaac and Patricia get married!

I couldn't see the next pictures after the first one, as they didn't forward to the next ones after I clicked on the first.

Sorry to hear you were sick. Glad you are feeling better. Will be praying hard for your health.

Got back from Ecuador last week, so catching up at work, etc. It was a great trip. I'll email you soon, but read my blog when you can.
