industrious

this past sunday, i visited one of the churches in the accra area that SIM is involved in. they had a youth day. im not biased or anything but i think youth are the best part of our churches here! anyways, they always ask if new people are visiting or if someone has not visited in awhile. so, i raised my hand and the guy giving the welcome introduced me as "sister sherri, our industrious missionary". i smiled to myself. industrious? hmmm...never was called that before. ghanaians always come up with descriptive words to introduce people.today...well, i should say july and august are pretty brutal for my allergies. i really really thank God i rarely get sick but i think it gets made up in allergy season. i don't even know what it is in the air that triggers it. it seems when the clouds come in, as if it will rain then the allergies start. strange, i know. anyways, my eyes were soooooo itchy and my allergy eye drops have finished so i had nothing to help me. so i went into my freezer and looked around. i pulled out my extra big snickers bar. i went to my room, laid on my bed and put the frozen snickers bar on my eyes. the coldness helped relieve the puffiness and itchiness. it felt wonderful. and of course when it defrosted i ate it. So, then... maybe i am industrious?
