coughing demons, eating ice cream and other tales of the pemba underground

another we while has passed in this sublime and magnicient poverty. on the down side i got 18 bites for a certain fly which lays eggs below the skin and as i innocently itched my "bites" the eggs hatches and grew into little worms. I only discovered this as in the shower (of which the water has only been running long enough to have two of on the last two and half weeks) i squeezed one of these bites the the strange looking pussy thing that came out began to wiggle, nice. Despite this is the closest i will ever come to pregnancy no maternal instincts develped and i killed every one of the beggers.

apart from that have been having some good banter with the other nutters who travelled over for the craic. crazyness includes a guy who helped out behind the scences on a trip i did to romania in 2000 (represent to kairos krew) and a girl who learned spanish in turrialba, the base of my expedition in Costa Rica (big up)

spiritual stuff is still on full throttle, currently "having a healing" of my hip, after some nice and spicy prayer last tuesday i considered myself healed and promptly burned all the medication i had with me for it (a couple of hundred pills) it has then given me reducing pain up until today when post some more blasting prayer i was able to sprint around the base, not just a crap jog but full-on pelting it, the elation was slightly marred by the blisters incured running around on hard african ground :) the hip is still a bit stiff but its definately the best state its been in over 5 months so thanks to Jesus for that one.

post the run i went back into the tent where we all meet and there was lots of deliverance going on, and as a guy prayed for me i felt weird coughs come up from with in me and then like i was bringing up and spitting up something nasty, this happened three times and i felt all the better for it so i guess the casting out demons thing is a bit more normal than i had imagined to.

for those who are interested Mark 16, Mat 8v16+17 amoungst many others might help any questions of what the funk am i talking about. otherwise peace out.

Sounds like your having some aweosme experiences. Been praying for you too, sounds like you haven't been needing it so much though, kinda like you have plenty to spare, lol. Throw some my way if you fancy it, nothing in particular, just that God's blessings won't dry up and I'll humble myself more before His throne. I'll keep up the prayers for you mate.

Wish I was there too.

Who the kiros guy?
