    Today I had the pleasure of getting two shots in my arms. When I was younger, I was one of those kids who cried when they got shots, well, I cried when I got shots even in middle school. I really don't like getting shots. They hurt. They're just unpleasant, and anyone who says they like to get shots is a little crazy in my opinion. As I said before, I had to get two shots today in order to have my immunizations up to date to go to Kenya. I needed a Yellow Fever shot and a Polio shot.

    The first shot wasn't so bad, it went into my left shoulder. But the second shot (and I'm not entirely sure, but I think it was the Yellow Fever shot) hurt pretty bad, and it went into the back of my right arm. I must have made a noise indicating pain, because the nurse said, "oh yeah, this shot is a little painful." Gee thanks... The funny thing is, now (8 hours after having the shots) my left shoulder hurts, quite badly, and my right arm is perfectly fine. Well, at least I don't need any more shots. I just have to take Typhoid pills this week, and then Malaria pills when I leave and during the mission. 

    I'm that much closer to leaving for Kenya. I get more and more excited every day. Theres only 117 days (not that anyone's counting or anything...) until we leave!

For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength.
