At Last Computer Access

Finally I am on line.  Arrived late Sunday, luggage intact.  The last leg of the flight seemed very long.  We went right to work on Monday.  Monday and Tuesday were spent seeing the children and employees.  Today was the first day of the community clinic. We saw 86 patients. They have made some positive changes as to how the  clinic is managed.  We are 3 nurses, 2 doctors , a PA, and pharmacist.  There are 3 husbands who are helping with maintenance. All in all it was an easy day.

It is very, very dry here.  We don't have guaranteed electricity.    The computer access has been marginal  at best.  I am not doing to well with the food and the malaria medicine.  I think I am more jet lagged than usual.  I did take a nap this afternoon and I feel better.

It is amazing to see the children,  how they have grown.  The 2 babies from 2006 are now 3 years old. One was very small at birth became very cubby, but she has really slimed down. The faces and names are slowly coming together.  They are so sweet.  The oldest children are now about 12.  One boy may be 13 or 14. They think they had an incorrect age when he came.  Monday night I went to the family evening devotion at Bethsaida House. How would you like to be a mama of 10 boys, 2 were sent to bed early for misbehaving before I arrived.  Tonight I am going to Nazareth house. Will I remember there names?

There are 80 children here and 42 children that are day students here. Despite the drought-like surroundings this is a beautiful vibrant place.

I will probably be going to another country.  I have the opportunity of going on a Safari in Tanzania with 2 others.

I cannot believe the opportunities that I have been given. God's blessings are abundant and more than one can imagine.
