Well leave it to me to be able to post wrong on a blog! I had written several days ago & it got posted to last year's blog! ONLY ME!!!! But as you can tell our experience here has been phenomenal so far. Yesterday we worshiped in the English service with Stanley 1 of our Zoe Leaders. They announced an opening here for a school nurse.......the language thing could be a problem for me!! TOO BAD! then we went to the kids Sunday school class. The kids were LOVELY! Afterwards we toured the inpatient unit, boy do we have it good in the USA! I can't believe how these people can make so little work so well. in the mother-baby unit there was one baby on bed alone,and guess what I didn't put it in my pocket to bring even though it was SO tempting! We took photos of the moms & their babies & took them back to them they were so happy! I'm sure this will be the only pic. they will ever get of their child. Speaking of photos; we brought along a portable photo printer.... what a GREAT thing! We have been taking pics. of the Giving Hope kids as we visit them, print them on the spot & give them to them. What BIG smiles and even a tear or two.
Joel you will be happy to know that Clay had some of your nails in his pocket & the day we finished building the house for Abraham we nailed them into the house. Abraham put them by his front door because he "wanted them where he could see them", his USA nails!
Today we go out with staff from Maua Methodist hospital to a rural site to do clinic visits. We expect to see 300+ people today.
Last evening Shannon & I went out exploring, in town, we got lots of attention & for whatever reason LOTS of laughs. People would look at us & giggle especially if we spoke to them. I guess they thought these 2 white ladies were quiet the site!
Our resident rooster friend has been moved to a spot where we can't here him crow at 4:00. Yesterday i kinda panicked & thought he might have been supper because I had made a "wanted" poster with his picture on it but he did show up later. Oops spoke too soon, it's 5:00 & I here him crowing somewhere close. kitchen or across hall in unfinished room??? He does give us something to laugh about! and Godi doesn't have to be the alarm clock this year.
Ready to start the day. thanks for reading/following along!
Keep praying.

It sounds like you are having a great time. Just remember Shannon is known to wonder off when she is exploring you have to make sure she remembers how to find her way back to the group. Hope all continues to go well. And I know exactly what to get everyone for Christmas next year a rooster alarm clock!!!
