Worms and parasites, yum yum


We have been completely wormed out last week! Fascinating, I'm amazed at those little (or big; they can grow in your intestines up to 10m long!) creatures who know exactly what to do to survive at our expense!
Last weekend I was busy with a course work project I wanted to finish. We are leaving for Uganda on the 27th June which is pretty soon! So we've been talking about that quite a bit. All my weekends are full from now on, which is kinda crazy!

This week was on HIV/AIDS. It was great! It was so challenging, did you know there is 40 milion infected worldwide and 6000 are newly infected every day worldwide! It's growing every year. Most countries cannot afford treatment. This is a world crisis... we have to do something to prevent the continuous expansion. The worst is that the church wants to have nothing to do with it; we associate it to sin and bad life style. It's terrible the assumptions and stigma we have built around the disease. We should be the first out there, compassionaltely serving them.
God has been growing my heart for people around the world. He has been answering prayers and has been so good to me.
I have been challenged by religiousness. How easy it is to fall in that trap, of wanting to do things by our own strength for our self-glorification.
This weekend I'm going to London, which I'm so excited about. Banana. I hope it will be nice weather.

That's the best piece of blog literature I have ever read. Especially the last few lines. I therefore internationally present to it the american silver star, the Victoria's cross, the nobel prize of literature.

Nice work:-)
