Good morning lovely people :) 

For this who look forward to reading my blogs I apologise that it has been such a long time since my last post! I haven't been to the headquarters for a long time which means I haven't had adequate Internet! 

Well, the rainy season has well and truly arrived! Mangos of all shapes and sizes are falling off the trees left right and centre, some even as big as my head nearly! And I have to say that I am now addicted to them, since they are so plentiful I eat them with pretty much every meal! Nothing better than coming in after a day of work and eating a cold mango out the fridge, delish!! 

The rains also bring little rain bugs. As kids my friends and I would walk around after the first rain collecting the little things in a match box and making homes for them. Therefore, for old times sake, I did the same and collecting loads of them in a box :) I think I had a little bit too much fun though!

Another, less exciting, thing that comes hand in hand with the rains is a very busy clinic! There are many more Mosquitos which means the the rate of malaria cases increase. Nasty things like scorpions come out so we have more people coming in who have been stung by scorpions! And also the cases of general sickness increases, especially among the HIV patients. 

With all that in mind, any of those things could happen to me. So please pray for my health and protection against scorpions and tropical diseases! Other than that just pray that God blesses my last few weeks in the Gambia and that I really enjoy my remaining time :) 

I now won't be in Pipeline until I'm leaving so this will be my last update until I arrive home! I look forward to seeing all of you, and telling you all the things I couldn't possibly it into a blog post! 

God bless you all and I'll see you soon! :)
