A Sick Ending to It All

So, yesterday I was putting things in my backpack to leave for the business meeting in the morning, and I suddenly felt sick.
I ended up staying in my room for the first business meeting, watching it online and sleeping.

When lunch came, I went out with my friends on a mission to find soup without milk or cheese as its main ingredient.
After going to about 5 places, I found a bowl of chicken noodle soup, ate it, and braved the business meeting after lunch.

As I sat there, I felt really nauseous and sick, so I took my computer and walked out, just to get some fresh air and maybe a drink of water, but on the way, I realized what I really needed to find was a garbage can.

So, for the first time and years, I "lost my lunch."

I decided it would be better to go back to the hotel.

My friend Nate, who had woken up at 4 in the morning that day to throw up, came and joined me. Apparently something like 40 YADs were missing yesterday.

So for the last day, when issues like gay ordination, gay marriage, the Palestine/Israel conflict, abortion, and many other important and interesting issues were discussed, Nate and I sat on my bed and watched it online, occasionally making a trip to the bathroom to throw up. Lovely.

I'm feeling better this morning, but I'm really hungry and I know if I eat anything I won't keep it down. Plus this was such a downer for my last two days here. No last meal, no last YAD caucus, no last meeting, no last picture. All the more reason to see these people again, I guess.

-----------------------------------------------

So, pray that I will make it for the next week.
Everyone has left but Nate; he leaves at 4 and I at 6.
Then I get to New York for the mission trip at 9AM when the youth group will be there more in the area of 9PM.

So, pray for safe and comfortable travels.

It's been lovely blogging. Don't forget to be loving, humble and just.
