Eric and Donna Shrift

June Jitters June 20, 2010

We were scheduled to fly into the village of Flexal on Monday, June 7th for another leadership training course, but the Lord had other plans… On the Friday prior to the flight, we were told that the Brazilian Indian Affairs Agency would not give us permission to go in.  The next day Eric came down with the jitters- his second bout of dengue fever.  He spent the next week in the hospital on IV fluids being closely monitored for internal hemorrhaging. He is now resting at home and building up strength for our trip to the US.  Our son John showed up on the 13th and has been helping out during Eric’s recovery and it has been a good time just hanging out with him.

Currently, we are planning to leave for the US the first week of July and make our way to New Hampshire for the bridal shower and wedding of Danielle and Nathaniel on the 10th and 17th respectively.
