That sweet friend of mine who is working in Zambia will be meeting me in Mozambique for the last week too. I’ve got lots of work to do in both Nicaragua and Mozambique, but there is a fair amount of vacation mixed in too. I’ll be staying at a tea plantation in Malawi and hopefully seeing Victoria Falls. I’ll be working at the orphanage, walking the villages in Beira, working with an epidemiologist on the effectiveness of our malaria net projects, trying not to lose my cool at the sight of the hospital decay, etc. [...] [...] Yep, I’m shaking I am so happy with the news.

The fact that you shared with him your amusing story gives him a smiley memory to remember you by! ;) Plus any batting of eyelashes is good practice right? I had a batting of eyelashes moment with a grocery store guy who was trying to carry too many things in his arms (this is me lots of times) and dropped his dozen eggs SPLAT just as we arrived at the registers. Ooohh but I laughed, caught his eye and said "I was hoping it wasn't the eggs." "It was the eggs" he said with a rueful smile. It only made him more adorable that he could joke with me and I helped him clean it up. Wonderful story my friend. I'm going to e-mail you soon - need your thoughts on an international medical mission trip I'm headed on in April. :) Wonderful!

What else could you do!?) and for taking a bow during the applause. I could picture it all happening, right down to your walk out of the bathroom into the crowd again. I am glad you had a nice time with TDH even though he's in Africa already! I am laughing with you, and am so proud of you for laughing at yourself (I mean, seriously!
