hey- i made it after hours and hours and hours of flying and sitting in airports and not lots of sleep. we begin our training today, therefore i wont be able to contact anyone or update this until the 27th. at that point, i will be able to give an update (i think) and we will be headed to malawi. currently, we are in johannesburg, south africa. so thanks for the prayers for the safe travels and continue to keep me in your prayers as we continue to prepare to show the people of malawi who Jesus is.
Also, a great update. After lots and lots of encouragement (and threatening) by one of my teammates...i was able to swallow my first malaria pill. 179 left to take. So far so good. We have began to get to know one another, and absolutely love my two teammates. they are absolutely amazing (and hilarious.)
Keep up the prayers and an update will come soon.

Yay!! You made it AND you swallowed a pill. It's so weird, you not being here. I keep wanting to text you about how crazy all of my teachers and classes are but i can't. I'm still praying for you. love.
Way to go Shaila! I know Jenna will be so proud of you! You could have just overcome the greatest obstacle of your trip, everything else will be a piece of cake! Good to hear things are going well. We will be praying for you.
Love

Hey Shay
I am a technology cripple and proved it. I have sent two blogs and nothing has shown up so here's #3. I pray for you! I get to be at work in the lovingkindness of our God in joining His call to redeem those whom HE loves thru you!! Big stuff to me!Circumstances come & go. Some of our doing & some from pure outside influences. The greatest thing is God is the ONE always faithful!!
Be God's,david
Shaila! I'm so happy you are there and excited to hear and know how God is changing you and the people around you! I really really really am exciting for you! Isn't it awesome that God called you to be a part of this? May God continue to bless your journey. I'm so proud that you finally swallowed a pill!!!! Gosh. After all these years. LOVE YOU and will be praying for you! <><
Keep up the good work with the pills. I used to have the same problem, so I "practiced" swallowing soft foods that were pill-sized. My favorite thing to practice on was candy orange slices that I cut up into the right size. Mark says I still look like a chicken when I take pills, but I can do it now. We are praying for you. We're proud of you! Aunt Denisa
Good morning or whatever it is there. Our house Church prayed for you and I am still beside you in prayer. The thought this morning for me that I am sharing with you is when you look into the eyes of those in need you are looking into the eyes of GOD! dude - that gets into my kitchen!!! "when did we SEE you Lord ... When you did it to the least of these, you did it unto ME."
Keep the Faith, david
Shaila woohoo, after all of those years I yelled at you and tried to shove those pills down and what not you did it... Mom was right, I am proud of you, did you happen to take a picture so I could have that as a souvenier? haha Love you. you have my prayers.
Nice to know that you made it and are able to take the necessary "pills" whatever it takes to keep yourself well! Saw your mom at Stage this evening. She and Kim were shopping.
"The Lord Live! Praise be to my Rock! Exalted be God my Savior! Psalm 18:46
