Still Alive

Many of you know I was taken to the hospital on Sunday afternoon due to food poisoning. Nick, Anna, and Junotte took perfect care of me. The doctor also diagnosed dehydration. I was given a shot for the food poisoning and they tried to give me an IV but my veins were unwilling to cooperate. Before being taken to the hospital, my "emergency crew" informed the Chiles to pray, which they did immediately. I heard when Mr. Chiles came in and the doctor asked if he was my father. His reply, "Sort of." I didn't go to school on Monday but slept, slept, slept, and slept some more. I am much better although exhausted from being exhausted... if that makes any sense. So thank you, thank you, thank you for all the prayers.

Thank you for all the specific prayers about EVERYTHING that's going on here in Chuuk. I crave your prayers and know the Lord acts accordingly. We were desperate for rain and God provided about a foot last night - pray for overflowing tanks!

Also, very sadly, one of my students was expelled for being drunk and attacking some girls. I am heart broken for him, to say the least.

Life is full of hard things but life is also full of God's many blessings and abounding grace.

Next week is midterms! ...I'll write more as soon as I can.

Love, Katie
