Me: Hey it's my birthday today!
Essa: Ok.
Me: Guess what?
Anthony: *doesn't guess*
Me: It's my birthday today!
Anthony: Oh! Will you buy me some candies?
Me: No.
Anthony: Oh
Then I ate way too much food and spent the night fighting invisible mosquitos, hearing my parents call my name, and thinking my room was trying to kill me. (Crazy pills)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Essa is feeding me far too much.
This morning she left me two loaves of bread for breakfast, which I ate. Then when I was about to leave, she grabbed me and started yelling(lovingly)
Essa: WHY YOU NO EAT BREAKFAST??? I MAKE IT AND YOU NOEAT!!!
Me: I did! I am so full!
Essa: No look!
Then I look in and there is a huge plate of...
Yep, you guessed it: Spicy chicken wings. For breakfast.
Essa: You eat! Grow big!
Anyway... if anybody was worried I would lose weight here...worry no more. I have chicken wings. And ants. I'm actually starting to not mind ants in my food. They are so small and so nutricious. (spell check)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Today I also found out that...
1:...Some cute pet monkeys are mean and like to bite me.
2:...the person who's motorcycle we have been using doesn't like us anymore, so we can't use it. 3:...Anthony borrowed one from someone else for free!
4:...(while driving it) our new one is missing a couple parts.
5:...those couple parts are both brakes.
6:...you can't stop without brakes.
Me (driving down hill too fast): Anthony, why is it not stopping?
Anthony: Because that uh... thing... is not working.
Me: You mean the brakes?
Anthony: Yes, that one.
Me: Heh... heh... uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... Aren't those... kind of important?
Anthony: *grins* Yes!
Fun times, fun times.
*edit* Do you have trouble knowing where, and where not to urinate? Do you find yourself embarrased, confused, and in despair because you have accidentally urinated on something you weren't supposed to? Your friend's flower garden, your friend's dog, your friend's leg... It can get very confusing trying to decide what is ok, and not ok to urinate on. We know.
That's why here in Sudan, we empathize with you. We make it clear where to urinate.

I'm loving that Essa. Give her a big hug from me. :-)
And like I've always told you, if you break your arm or leg, I'm going to break the other one, so don't make me have to come all the way over there to do it. You know I will.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JUSTIN!!!! Sorry you're in Sudan where nobody celebrates it. :0( Hope you had a great birthday despite the lack of celebration there - they probably would have thrown you a big party here...
Don't discuss near death experiences in Sudan - your mom is reading and I don't want her worrying about you. Glad to hear you've plenty of food - chicken wings for breakfast sounds pretty good. :0) Love you, the Hagans. :0)
DUDE, THAT'S AWESOME!!! I WANNA RIDE A MOTORCYCLE WITHOUT BRAKES!!! How come u have all the fun??? LOL. Anyway, I hope you had a happy birthday, despite everything.

Woah!! im starting to love this "Anthony" character! and btw, Moto's without brakes are de most fun! :D
I actually fond out today that in some countries, when its our birthday you are to give your friends gifts as opposed to vice versa. I was reading this article where this American lady was working somewhere and somehow her co-workers found out her birthday an announced it. Than, they all got in a line and shook her hand and said happy birthday and one after one they asked where's the gift until she realized she was supposed to bring a treat.
Anywaaaays, glad you are doing well. Maybe we can have a belated party for you...
OH so this is a Christian organization you are dealing with... noice. You didn't answer my question about with whom and for what reason you are going to Sudan, I just assumed you would blog, take pictures and beg us to comment, which we do (don't worry), so I was right in that aspect... but in terms of actually doing anything kingdomly I see you are well on your way- good! very nice.
Hay mate- Rachel D told me about how you simply packed up and took off to Sudan, & had a rather interesting / comical blog to include everyone else on the trip! I like your blog (& style of writing), & it's cool that you're in Sudan!- something I want to do (one day) is go and live in a developing country for a year or two.
Oh yeah, Happy Birthday too! =)

Theres a movie you HAVE to see when you come back- Im gonna buy it when it comes out on video and save it for ya yo =)=) okay, im gonna keep catching up on your blogs now!!!!! buh byes!!!
You will totally gain weight! I stayed with a host family in Guatemala for five weeks and I was definitely gained more than ever. It really showed me what true hospitality is too - not Martha Stewart perfection but love and giving that comes from a pure heart. Happy belated birthday as well.
