9 Days until this MACKEY's in Africa


M - Monkeys.

I learned they are a part of everyday life in Africa. I get a locked sleeping bag to keep the monkey's out. I never thought I would need a lock to keep monkeys out. I never thought a lock would keep monkeys out. Don't they have little hands, like us?

A - Anti-Malaria meds.

It's like a party in your mouth once a day. They make you throw up if you don't have enough in your stomach. Delicious. That's something I am looking forward to.

C - Calling Home.

Probably not gonna happen. Hopefully I will be able to email Brent once to have him get the word out (no pun intended) that I've arrived safely. I'm very thankful that my brother has said he will be keeping an eye on me while I am there. Brothers are awesome.

K - Killer lions.

When asked by my sister-in-law what the most dangerous bug in Africa is, I responded, "Lions."

E - Eating.

We will be devouring granola bars like they are going out of style. When I return, I will probably never want to see another granola bar. My sister says it's either that ... or bugs. Want some advice? Buy stock in Nutrigrain.

Y - Youth.

Seeing the children in Africa will still make everything worth it. Lions and monkeys and Malaria - oh my. Seeing these kids' faces light up will be the best part of this trip. I can't wait to see what God will do with this trip.
