I miss my chickens

Hi this is Danica!
We are in the Dubai airport and we are going to be in Kenya in about 5+ hours. I am more anxious than anything else (of course, this could be just the side affects of the malaria pills). I'm finally going home, after 1.5 years. =). I still can't believe I'm going back. I had a nightmare last night that I had to go back to the States because I was sick. WAAH. But fortunately, it was just a dream.
Please pray for me, because although this sounds a little cheesy and borderline Christianese, Satan is attacking me! I threw up on the plane yesterday and I never get sick on flights. Then I was feeling quite nauseous for the last 5 hours of the flight. Later on that night, while half-conscious, I read James (just like Bromley told us to!) and the second verse really spoke to me. It was James 1:2 (don't quote me on this, I'm just paraphrasing). It said "Consider it pure joy, my brothers, when you face trials of many kinds. . .uh. . .well, it said something about this helping my faith grow and persevere because of this. Well, I know the word perseverance was in there somewhere. Anyway, it really spoke to me because even though I underwent this unpleasant experience, I knew that it was good.
-Danica!

Here is a picture of us in the Dubai airport, where a Grande Starbucks drink is $5 (in US)!

    You sound just like yourself. ;)
    I heard you guys conference call in Analog today--the boys remembered you!!! :D
    So hooray for that, and I hope you don't get sick again, and I got your note, if I had access to your chickens I would say hi to them for you, and I've been/will be praying for you.
