i realized something last night that almost made me zip up my bags and come home:
i folded back the top sheet (no blankets of course) and saw the most frightening thing i think i have ever seen in my life. i stood there in complete horror and shock, paralyzed with fright and overcome with dread. i began to sweat profusely from the internal stress being placed on my body and soul - what i saw you will hardly believe (don't let the kids read this) - the sheet covering the mattress was, and i shiver as i type this, pink with flowers. eventually i came out of my malaise and realized that this is the kind of suffering i will have to do in order to serve God down here in the mission. it took me a while to actually lie down on the bed, but i slept better than i had in a week, so i can only praise God for the graces bestowed upon me.
