Feb 28th

Hunger begins to pain my stomach again even though it’s been dormant for the past week. The pain isn’t as intense as it was in the beginning when it would crush my spirits. These pains are slow and nagging. Progress is a slow process; it’s better than it was before.

I started this project exactly 4 weeks ago. Time has proved to be the biggest struggle. It has been emotionally draining to stay focused and positive. Everything I feel has been exploited during droughts of sleep and hunger. Although my struggling is difficult and troublesome, it has brought me great hope and awareness.

Someday I want to be with people that suffer from the oppression of poverty. I want to hear their story and spread their words. I want to inspire, love, support, and encourage their community; to bring the message that struggle inspires perseverance and in perseverance there is growth.

Shane - Tonight I had the opportunity to spend some time with two misssionaries from Kenya. They are wonderful people who shared an incredible story and vision. My church group has an open invitation to visit - I'd love to go; how about you? -- Love, Mama Haase --
