HOW IS YOUR WEEKEND?

Sat, Jan 29, 2011 at 4:32 AM

Hi Ma!

I hope your Weekend is great there in Cleveland!

Thank God am fine although am not very fine.
But I should thank him for leting me see the Sun today.

Right now am on my way from Mr.Iddi's brother, I slept there.
Because I had to meet a "WITCHDOCTOR".

Do you know a WITCH DOCTOR?
He is the one who deals with LOCAL MEDICINE Concerning WITCH CRAFT & so on.

I told him the way I feel, then he Commended me for Seeking Medical Help so Fast. Because Sickness like this should not be delayed to be Treated.

But he assured me of Well being. He said because there have been a lot of people going to him with the same problem, but GOD finally heal them through his Medicines.

But the Medicines he has given me, seem to be helpful. because it's not just one kind of Medicines, there are different kinds.

He has given me Some more Instructions to Follow, but I will rightly follow them.

But I will be fine Mum, God has always been with me, then why not now? I will be fine, don't worry.

Just Continue your Constant Prayers for me.

I will begin to use these medicines this evening.

But the Medicines almost costed me Tsh 20,000.

Yes, $100 will be enough for all what you mentioned.
The only next thing I need right now is the Money for the ADVANCE CLASS MATERIAL.

Today, MANCHESTER UNITED is up against SOUTHTHAMPTON.

Let them beat us if they Can!!

I will be back in the evening to check your reply!

MAY GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS!

AM YOUR SON,
BASHIR!

JUST TO KEEP YOU UPDATED!!

Thu, Jan 27, 2011 at 2:26 PM

Hi Ma!

Mr.Iddi & some of my friends have been giving me Suggestions to go & have a Test of Malaria.
They suggested that it might be Malaria, because Malaria comes differently.
Sometimes it attacks some parts of the Body.

Then I followed their Suggestions & went to the Clinic to have Malaria test.
Then I have been found MALARIA.

They have given me Drugs.

But I also told him about my ARM & LEG problem, then he said that I should try these Drugs, because it might be because of Malaria.

But tomorrow, I will also go to Mr.Iddi to have some Medicine.

That's what I just wanted to keep you updated so far.

I will be back tomorro morning to read your Comments.

May God Bless You Always!

Am Your Son,
Bashir!

IT'S BETTER OFF TODAY!

Thu, Jan 27, 2011 at 9:06 AM

Hi Ma!

It seems that almighty God is granting your Constant Prayers, because there is a change since yesterday. Especially yesterday, because I didn't feel any pain on my ARM or LEG. I was in a big Relief. But today again am feeling abit of Pain, but it's not like the way I was feeling in previous days, it's just here & there.
Sometimes it stops completely & it begins again.
But now it's just a very little pain.

It seems like the LOCAL MEDICINE I was given by Mr.Iddi on previous day is so helpful.
Because this change came soon after I took that Medicine. But unfortunately it was a too little Medicine. Then I asked him again to look for me extra Medicine. He said that he will do that by tomorrow or Sartuday.

I get much more Reliefs & Hopes when I hear your leliefing Words.

Yes, almighty God will Heal me no matter what, Because nothing & nobody is above Him at all.
and am very sure that all good things he planned for me will happen.
because I never Offended anyone to deserve this.

Of course we can not understand what is happening, but almighty God understands everything & he is Just.

Just keep on Praying Constantly, I will be soon alright. And if the Change will be going on like the way it is now, I can assure you that on 2 February I will Join a Class of Advance.

Meanwhile, I have just received an e-mail from brother Douglas. He just wanna greet me.

He said that he had Dreams of Me last night, He dremt that I sent him an e-mail, that's why he decided to say Hello to me.

A good news is that he & my in-law Jen are Safe from that devastating Floods.

He also told me that You & Dad will be visiting them Soon, is that True?

It's nice to hear Good Developments of His!!

I will reply to him soon!

I will be back in the morning to check your reply.

MAY GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS!

AM YOUR SON,
BASHIR!

THE PHOTOS ARE ON THEIR WAY!

Tue, Jan 25, 2011 at 4:35 AM

Hi Ma!

I hope all is alright there in Cleveland!

I would like to let you know that I sent the Photos Yesterday.
I hope you will get them within 3 Weeks.
Am very sure that you will like them also.

But I didn't include ISHMAEL'S Photo, because I forgot to produce it at the Photo Studios.

But I hope I will send it soon, because I still have it in a Camera.

Yesterday we had Orientation of Advance Class, but we didn't Officially begin Lessons.

They said that our classes will begin on 2 February 2011, because there is a Class which will be finishing this week.
Then we are waiting for them to finish.

But I would to ask you Mum, that you should Not Pay my Fees right now.
You should wait until I get Healed completely.

Because am still not feeling well,

For example, yesterday I wrote you a Short letter which I sent with the Photos. But I could not write a Long letter as I wished because my ARM is in Pain.
I can't even finish to write a Single Page.

Then if I attend the Class right now, I will not be Comfortable to write effectively.

Then I would like to ask you to wait for me to get fully fine. If I get fine before 2 February, then I will tell you to pay it for me.

Let's assume that you Pay & I don't get well soon. It's obvious that it will be a Blow, because I will be Unable to write well the Notes of the Lessons.

If I don't get fine Soon untill after 1 Month, then don't worry Mum, I will just Join another Advance SEMESTER in"APRIL 2011".

Right now I want to make sure that am Completely fine in my Body.

But if almighty God heals me within 2-3 Weeks, then I will join JANUARY SEMESTER as intentionally Planned.

Am sorry Mum, I know that you are too worried of this. But I think it's good for me to relax & take time to look after of myself before a Class.

It can't be good to begin a Class while I know that am not feeling well.
I should wait to be healed first.

I need to be in Class while am fully Fit as I used to be.

Please Mum, I need your Comments to what I have asked you.

I finished the Dose of the Drugs yesterday.
Then I told Mr.Iddi that am still not feeling well,
Then he said he will find for me the LOCAL MEDICINE.
But I know that I stil need to wait, because the Medicine might be in the Process to Function.
As you said that it takes a bit of time to be Healed.

I need your Comments & constant Prayers!

MAY GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS!

AM YOUR SON,
BASHIR!

THANKS FOR THE MEDICINE INFORMATION!

Sun, Jan 23, 2011 at 1:57 AM

Hi Ma!

I hope you are doing well there in Cleveland!
I have not sent you an e-mail yesterday because of Electricity problem in Dar-es-salaam. My Phone had no Charge, so I had nowhere to go & charge it.

Now to talk about the information you gave about the Medicine I bought, I would like to Commend you because it's Exactly the same to what the Doctor at Clinic told me.

Of course yes, I totally agree with you that the process of Healing takes Time.

Unlike MALARIA, because once am Suffering from Malaria, I just take the Drugs & get Healed before Finishing the Dose of the Drugs.

Of course there are Changes, but not as I thought. But am getting a bit of relief now, the Condition is different from the way I was before taking the Drugs.

Even the Doctor, also said just as you said that a too long Journey Can Cause this Pain.

Then I would like to ask you according to your Experience:

Is it possible to only Feel Pain at one Side of the body? Not the Entire Body?
It should be the whole Body, Shouldn't it?

Because it's only a right Side of my Body that I feel Pain. But my left side is absolutely Fine.
That's what am Surprised!

Tomorrow Morning, I will be finishing the Drugs.
Then I will wait for 2-3 Days if there will be a Big Relief I expect.

But it's not like am too Serious, no! am not even Seem like a Sick person.
My ARM is working Properly & am very sure that I will be so active In Class tomorrow as the very first day of Advance.

I even played Football yesterday Morning as the Exercises to See if am Fit.

I played well & went out of the Fieled without a Problem.

And nobody Can reveal that am Sick, unless I tell them.

But there is Progress, because there is Time that I don't Feel Pain & then the Pain Comes again.

That's what is happening so far!
That's why I have got Hopes of getting completing well Soon.

Above all, MANCHESTER UNITED had a FLAWLESS VICTORY Yesterday.
We ruthlessly thrushed BIRMIGHAM CITY by 5-0.

Then I rejoiced & Jumped, until all the Pain of my Body washed away.

We are Comfortably Toping the League.

We describe ourselves as the Possessors of the Tittle Hopes!

WHAT A ''RESOUNDING'' VICTORY!!

How is life at CLEVELAND CAVALIERS after the Departure of King LEBRON JAMES?

Tomorrow at the Break time I will go to Post Office to Send you the Photos of my Dad & other relatives of Malawi.

Am in need of your Constant Prayers as usual.

MAY GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS!

AM YOUR SON,
BASHIR!

Friday, January 21, 2011

I AGREE WITH YOUR EXPERIENCE!

Thu, Jan 20, 2011 at 1:20 PM

Hi Ma!

I totally agree with what you have just said that my Sickness Could be due to the Longest Journey of Malawi.
You are a third person to tell me about that.

The first one was Mr.Iddi & another one is a certain friend of Mine.

The Drugs I was told to Buy are:
DICLOFENAC, NEUROBIAN, CIPROBIA & DIOCIPRO & GEL VOLINI.

But I feel no Changes after taking these Drugs, then I will Follow your instructions of the USA Drugs you Mentioned.

Yes, it will be good if you send me an extra Money on 31 January just as you said, because Right now it's like I have began a New life since I was at Home.
Because I found nothing at Home, I mean the FOOD & other Domestic Stuffs.

Then the Budget is too Different from the way it has always been. Because am trying to put everything as it used to be.

Including the Drugs I have bought & few Exercise Note Books to begin using in my Advanced Class on Monday.
Then I hope it will be a good decision to have that extra Money on 31 January.

MAY GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS!

AM YOUR SON,
BASHIR!

THANKS FOR THE ADDRESS!

Thu, Jan 20, 2011 at 3:37 AM

Hi Ma!

I hope all is well there in cleveland.
As to my side, am fine but Not very fine.

Because my right ARM is feeling Uncomfortable.
It began with my Right Leg, just when I was on my way Back to Tanzania. But now at least a Leg is Okay.
But my ARM is still in Pain.
Especially at the Joint.

My ARM feels Weak,
When I was Washing my Clothes on Previous day, I just finished only 2 Shirts, my ARM got tired like I have been Washing throughout the day.

Then I went to the Clinic yesterday to ask what's wrong, then am told that it might be the Problem of Some NERVES [BLOOD NERVES] are not giving Blood the Way to Pass Smoothlly & Adequatelly on that Side am Feeling Pain.

Then am told to Buy some Drugs, I Bought them & am taking them. The Drugs will end on Sunday, it's when I will see if there will be any Changes.

Honestly, my ARM is Uncofortable & Abnormal.

But am Sure that I will be finally alright in the Holly Name of Almighty GOD.
So, I need your Constant Prayers so that coming on Monday, My ARM should Function again Effectivelly & Activelly, being the First day of Advanced Class.
But I will also Tell Mr.Iddi again for more Treatment. Of course I already told him, but he just told me to Buy some Drugs. Then am deciding to tell Him again, may be He come up with the Idea of LOCAL MEDICINE just like he did last time.

I read the e-mails you sent to Hilda on Previous day. Infact, I was happy to read a very Good plan of my Payments.

It's nice to have your Address again.
Hopefully tomorrow I will Send the Photos through the Post Office & I will let you know after I send them.

I met HILDA yesterday, actually she also told me that she got your e-mail & that she replied to it just as you Said.

I will be back again in the Evening to write some more Stories of Malawi just as I promissed.

MAY GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS!

AM YOUR SON,
BASHIR!

AM FINALLY BACK FROM MALAWI!

Date: Mon, 17 Jan 2011 18:14:29 +0300

Hi Dad! ("Dad" is Nicole’s husband Jim)

How are you doing so far!

I will be so delighted to hear that you are feeling well & that everything is in Progress.

I would like to let you know that now am in Tanzania after staying in Malawi for a Month.

Thank God it was a Nice visit as it was a First time to meet my Father & relatives since a little Couple years ago.

I went & came back by a Bus because Malawi is not too far From Tanzania. They are just neighbouring Countries.
But it takes 2 days on the way from each country to another. Then I really got tired in the Bus until I felt uncofortable when I arrived.

I had to tell my Dad & relatives about all good things you do to me. But there were all Impressive & Appreciative.

They wish you & your family the best. They also ask God to Bless you abundantly as one way of expressing their Gratitudes.

Just after few days, I will send you some of the Photos of My Dad & Relatives I took from Malawi.

It was a Very Remarkable & Exciting Expedition!!

I now leave you in the safest hands of almighty God to protect you always by his Maximum Security.

I will be back Soon to have your reply!

This is your Son,
Bashir!

THANK GOD AM NOW FINALLY IN DAR-ES-SALAAM!

Sat, Jan 15, 2011 at 12:13 AM

Hi Ma!

Am delighted to let you know that almighty God eased my Journey to Dar-es-salaam.

I arrived last night around 9pm.
But am to say Sorry because I didn't Fulfill the Promise of sending you an e-mail while I was on the way to Dar-es-salaam. The reason was the Same, Phone's Battery was too down.

But all in all, everyone is alright at home & they gave the very best regards to you & our family.
I will be talking about them later in the coming days.

Yes Mum, I have been praying all the best for my brother Douglas & in-law Jen for the Devastating Floods in Brisbane, Australia.

Infact, I knew it before you told me, because I watched it on TV the day just before the day you told me about that.

They showed Floods Pictures in Brisbane, then at first I asked to myself that is this not Brisbane where my brother Douglas stays?

then I thought & said to myself that I think Mum once told me that brother Douglas stays in Brisbane. But my answer was 50-50, because I was not 100% sure that it was true that it was really There or Not.

Then when you told me, it was just like a Confirmation & an answer to me for what I was thinking & asking to myself.

Then let's leave it in the almighty God's hands to keep them Safe until the end of their Year while in Brisbane, Australia.

I also thank God for keeping my Room safe, I have found everything just like the way I left.

I don't have any worries of missing anything in my Room. Just as I said that a person I left is so Faithful & Trustworthy.

The very next thing I want right now is to send you the Photos through Post Office as usual.

Am just waiting to get Money so that I should go to wash & produce them at the Photo Studio & finally send them to you Soon.

Please let my dear Dad Mr.Jimmy know that I have finally bounced back to Dar-es-salaam.

But I will personally say Hie to him later in the evening when I will be back to check your reply to this e-mail.

MAY GOD BLESS YOU MUM!

AM YOUR SON,
BASHIR!

“The Starfish Story” by Loren Eisley

One day a man was walking along the beach when he noticed a boy picking something up and gently throwing it into the ocean. Approaching the boy, he asked, “What are you doing?” The youth replied, “Throwing starfish back into the ocean. The surf is up and the tide is going out. If I don’t throw them back, they’ll die.” “Son,” the man said, “don’t you realize there are miles and miles of beach and hundreds of starfish? You can’t make a difference!” After listening politely, the boy bent down, picked up another starfish, and threw it back into the surf. Then, smiling at the man, he said… “I made a difference for that one.”
