Allergies

Language was good, as in, I was faithful. I had help with my friend Charity in Tumu who helped keep me accountable. One day, I said I wanted to say my dialogue with 4 people and I was about to give up...but forced myself to keep going because I knew she would ask me about it. Another day I had to quickly walk home because I could tell my allergies were kicking in. I did not even touch my eye and when I got home it was completely red! Ugh...but I put some drops in and got back out there. YAY!This month my allergies are really in attack mode. I have been waking up like thisred and puffy and gunky. It is a good morning when I can actually open them!In Accra, my allergies were pretty bad too. I was all drugged up on Benadryl or Claritin or something. I remember last year when I moved up here, I was surprised my allergies were ok, but not this year. Thankfully, rainy season has been going since June and my allergies are only kicking in now. That is better than what it was in Accra. The rains should finish by October and I can go back to normalcy.I finished my allergy drops and Mom said she sent some out but they haven't come yet. I went a couple days without and OOOOOO MYYYYYY GOOOODNESSSSSSS I suffered! I even googled how to make my own eyedrops, in which you need chloride tablets...yeah, I don't think I can find them here. I found I could use tea bags and put them on my eyes. That worked for about 5 minutes and then I was itchy again.On Friday I went to the post office to see if the package had come. It did not. There was a pharmacy across the street. I have looked at other pharmacies and no one has had allergy drops but THIS ONE DID!! I almost cried I was so happy! OOOOO how God provides!!!We had some of the Tumu team over. They had to do errands in Tamale and we were their hotel for a few days. We love it. It gave me an excuse to cook comfort food like meatloaf, mashed potatoes and I even baked rolls and carrot cake! I also found a recipe for peach french toast bake for breakfast. I substituted mangoes and it was amazing...can I say it was amazing even though I was the one who cooked it??? EI!! I told them the food was really all for me they were just the bonus :) Damary, the next day, cooked an Indian meal and OOOOO it was delish! We had great times of talking and hearing about ministry and language learning. They are all in the midst of it too. I am so thankful I work on a team!I should have few interruptions this week for language...let's see how it goes...Be praying!
