Dont worry... Doesn't that mean the mom HAS to worry??

This is excerpts from email to his mom:
africa is wet. i am thinking about building the ark now. the wires bought every missionary a big trench/rain coat. it helps a little but i still come home soaked from the thighs down…..
i am doing well. i have only been using 2 pairs of my pants and saving the others for later. presidents flight got cancelled last week so he is coming this week. the ap's are the only ones that come and stay with us. we have the biggest apartment in liberia so they like ours the best and stay with us for a few days. i am hoping that sister squires has my package from either you or jamie. kayla and marybeth and kassi sent me 2 last week and i think kathryn sent me one also. and you said i wasnt a ladys man ;). ha ha i am excited for more letters on friday and i will send you a nice long one.
president called the other day and told us to be sure we are in before dark. people are very desperate for money and they are amping up the robberies after the sun goes down. so we carry little cash now and we have to be in the apartment by 7. dont worry though the lord is watching over me and most of the problems are on the other side of monrovia.
i am doing well and my farmers tan is nice. my gut is slowly disappearing. casey said he finally is able to buy his xbox. ha ha he will be to fat and lazy to beat me up by the time i get home.
i hope all is well and that dad finds a job to fit his new happy attitude. i love you and pray for you everyday!!!
love your best friend and son

He mentioned in emails to other people – not his mom so as not to worry her – more about the robberies and now the people are out to steal you kidney. So if he emailed you and told you he still has his kidneys, that is a very good thing :)
