I have been home-sick x 2 this week. I am so home-sick for Malawi and the children there. But I also have been home-sick from work this week with the flu/virus. Everyday one area of my body feels a bit better and then a new area gets worse...but what an opportunity to praise the Lord for my many blessings! I have paid sick leave! WooHoo! I also have a nice warm safe dry place to recover and access to top medical care if necessary. WooHoo! I have also had practice being a "listener" instead of a "talker" since my voice is gone. It was amazing timing to get Savannah-hope's immigration approval while I was at home because I would have been pretty distracted at work with the news. My plan is to go back to work tomorrow and Saturday. I am hoping my voice returns especially by Saturday because there will only be two of us on shift and I will need to speak.
Thank you to those who remembered to pray for my last box. It arrived to Thandie one day early! There were no fees, drama or delays! WooHoo!!! I was able to send Savannah-Hope some vapo-bath soap and some other comforts that sick babies in American enjoy. Also sent lots of socks and the next size up in p.j's. I am praising the Lord for his great mercy with this box....there is no way that it weighed what it said it weighed at DHL. They weighed it twice because they too knew it was much heavier than what the scale showed. But I only had to pay according to what the scale said. I know the Lord lowered the weight on the scale....WooHoo!!! This box was half the price it normally is. What a blessing! And now Thandie has it!
Please pray for Ida as she is suffering from diarrhea. My heart aches for this girl. I was able to talk to her on the phone about a week ago. She is such a blessing! It's so hard to see her suffer from one illness after another, but the thought of her leaving us one day is more than my heart can take.
Thank you for praying for our caregivers and staff members. All but one are back and feeling better. Please continue to pray for Mary as she is still not feeling well.
Please continue to pray about the container project. Brother Gentry is scheduled to leave for Malawi in 4 weeks. This container must be shipped before he leaves. No funding has come in for this project. Please pray that the Lord will provide the funding. This container will help us reach more of the World for Christ.
