Just another day here in Ghana! Jessica gave me a box of chocolates wrapped in pictures colored by a couple of the kids I was soo appreciative of her amazing gesture! Then I went to lunch at my favorite restaurant here in Ghana which was amazing! I also got a gift from the orphans in the form of ring worm on my chin. I got medicine today so hopefully that will clear it all up. Jessica has ring worm on her arm as well. Gloria (our local host at the compound) told us about a traditional remedy for ring worm and scabies. This remedies involves breaking a battery in half, rubbing the battery acid on the infected section of the skin. I don't think I'm too keen to this remedy. I'll just stick to my pills and cream.
I have been having a great time! A couple of days ago we had a huge rain storm so I was soaked the whole day! The kids were also forced to stay inside this very small room. I counted about 28 toddlers in this small and cluttered room. It was a nightmare to say the least. There was screaming everywhere, bodily waste everywhere, tears everywhere, fighting everywhere, and more screaming!
I don't want to go home but I know I have to get back to my responsibilities at home :( Thank you everyone for your love and support! It is great to hear from everyone! Keep the comments coming :)

WOW! what great birthday presents - chocolate and ring worm - lucky you. JK does the ring worm hurt, itch,etc.? I hope you had a terrific day. The world is blessed to have had you for these 19 years. We love you - keep up the good work.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DEAR TAYLOR, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!.. and many more. Love you, Taylor. Enjoy your day and always remember who you are. We send our love to you and your card and check will be in your room when you return. Sorry about your special added blessing on your cheek, but sometimes these things happen. Thank goodness for great medicine. I agree with you the suggested application doesn't sound very appealing. Your work there is extremely important. Keep loving and doing. You will be blessed along with the children. Love you, xoxo

wow ring worm on your birthday. That doesnt sound fun, even though i dont know wat ring worm is. But at least you got chocolate, that wouldnt be my first pick for a birthday present but it must be exciting for some people. But why not use the battery acid, only wimps stick to pills and cream, youve got to be a real man if your willing to rub battery acid on your skin JK. Well see u soon. <(-_-)>
