You know what's exciting?

I'll tell you what's exciting: Having student leaders who are growing and taking charge. I have been leading two men's groups on Monday and Tuesday every week for a year and a half. This week my two disciples, Dennis and Darling, will start taking over. I'll still be there for a while, but they're ready! Each group has 8-10 men. I'm thinking that after that, I'll start over with a new group.

I'll tell you what's NOT exciting: Jeanie just sent me a note saying that we're going to be confined to the house on Saturday, by government edict. We are in the midst of an epidemic of Dengue Fever, about 40,000 cases so far. It is a mosquito borne illness that can be very severe, even fatal (about 40 deaths so far). We are using lots of insect repellent - graciously left behind by our Christ Fellowship team from Miami last summer. The enforced closure of the city is for the purpose of cleaning up around our houses: eliminating trash and standing water that can be a breeding ground for mosquitos.

Please be careful! This fever thing worries me. You need to put a mosquito net around the baby's bed(Andy).
