Come To Me All who Are Weary and Burdened.

Today the those who needed us came. This was the population I expected.  Yesterday,  I thought things had really changed and I wondered if there was a purpose in coming here.  It is not for me to question those that come to the clinic, we  are to serve both the rich and the poor.  We had a delightful 87 year old come to the clinic.  He was fairly healthy for a man his age in Africa. We saw a lot of patients with diabetes,  several malnourished children, there several positive HIV patients, several with high fevers that turned to have malaria.  One of our MM's got dehydrated and had to be seen in the clinic. All told we have been averaging about a 100 plus a day.

I am tired tonight .  It was a warm day here.  The day started with much needed rain.  Since our waiting area is outdoors we were thankful that it was only rain showers.

I thank all of you for your prayers and ask that you continue to pray for me as I travel through all the countries that God is sending me to.  I am in awe of the opportunities that he has laid out before me. I do feel at home here. I am making new friends and enjoying serving with old friends. One cannot but have fun when you are working with the Queen of JIX ( bleach)  Thank God for JIX.
