It was a good news/bad news kind of day. The good news is that while I will still need medication that makes me sick for my diabetes, I will not have to have insulin injections. The medication had brought me down to a high normal reading. The bad news is I still have to take the medication and stay sick for some time to come. My anemia is better thanks to taking vitamins and eating liver twice a week, but I still have a ways to go. John found a glucose level tester in a little shop in Musoma. Brand new and unbelievable. We bought a fan for Karen as this is one of the hottest summers we've had. John had a high level meeting with the head guys at TTCL (the national phone company) and Bunda should be getting 3G service next month (for those who know what that means). I was wiped out after we got back and especially sad to discover that the second ingredient in ketchup is sugar. John also found the equivalent of Sweet and Low at a local store and bought all they had, so I can have iced tea with a sugar taste at least. John spent the evening tonight at the Australian missionaries house. About once a month they invite him over for dinner and to play board games--he loves it. I've got a lot of emailing and writing to do, but seldom feel good enough to do it, still you do what you gotta. God give me strength.

Try salsa instead of ketchup (if you can get it over there). Have you gotten my package yet?
You're right good news/bad news. Hang in there. Keep reading those labels! You guys are in my prayers!
