Malaria

Hello everyone!
So.. I have a small case of malaria. Yesterday at church I starting not feeling well then my companion was doing some baptismal interviews for the njaitown elders and I got really light headed during the interviews so last night I called sis squires and told her how i was feeling and she was all ya you need to start on some medicine. I had to take like 5 or 6 pills last night then some more this morning. Malaria sucks!! But Im feeling a little better today. I have absolutely no energy at all! gotta love life in africa. It has been raining alot here lately it took us a long time to get to the cafe because it would start raining so we would just stop at someones house and stand under there porch and contact them until the rain would stop then we would walk a little more and have to do it again. I think im getting a little taste of what the rainy season is going to be like. Today was super p-day we went to the njagboima chapel and played volleyball and dodge ball and kick ball it was really fun except for I kept getting dizzy because im sick. Transfers are this sunday. My companion is going home. Im so jealous! haha im pretty sure im not going to be leaving my area quite yet. because since my campanion is leaving im sure i will get another companion and then teach him the area and the investigators and then i might leave next transfer but you never know i guess. Its weird that i will be getting a new companion. It kind of gives me some anxiety haha im so comfortable with everything right now. but it will be good i hope i learn as much from my next companion as i have from Elder Djanku. I took some really cool pictures this week. The people in the compound next to ours have a little monkey and it came into our porch and ran up to me and rapped its arms and legs around my leg haha elder borwah took a picture for me then also I took a picture of my favorite street in our area it is really cool because as you look down the street then you see the sweet african houses down both sides and there are some kids playing in the street then at the end of the street it goes down a hill and you can see the view at the end of all the sweet african palm trees and stuff. I will be sending it through email when i get that card reader. I really want to crop it a little like zoom in small then blow it up and frame it its a really cool picture. Anyways as far as investigators we still have douda and esther this little newly wed couple that have been investigating the church for a long time and hopefully they will be getting baptized on the 20th of march. all our other investigators are somewhat progressing but dont have bapt dates yet. I still love being a missionary just slugin it out. thank you all for the support I love you.
