Update

Good Samaritan Staff members Rodney and Lloyd are recovering from Malaria. Please keep them in prayer.

Gertrude (Blessing’s sister) has been ill for over a month. She had Malaria and took the medication but just doesn’t seem to be getting any better. Today Thandie took her and Peace (who also hasn’t been feeling well) to the hospital for blood work. Gertrude was found to be extremely anemic with a hemoglobin count of 7. Any lower and she would have had to have a blood transfusion. She was also diagnosed with Malaria plus 1. Gertrude was given iron tablets and more malaria medication. The doctors stated that Peace is having some issues with her blood sugar due to the Quinine medication she was taking to treat her malaria. Thandie has to adjust her diet, but she should be just fine.

Joy and Faith are doing well, thanks for your prayers.

Brother Chuck Miller from Florida is scheduled to arrive to Malawi this Saturday (1/3109). Please pray for his travel.
