Update – September 9, 2013
1. The dog bite is healing. My
heart will need more time.
2. We had a surprise baptism
this week! Her name is Mabel and man, her story is inspiring. I will have to
elaborate later when I don’t have less
than ten minutes on the freaking internet!
3. But yes, the baptism... What
a spirit that was felt there! My heart was filled with a joy that will NEVER
die. Never ever ever. This woman and her family have found peace in the midst
of heart wrenching tragedy. This is possible for all.
4. The culture for what girls
can do here is different. Kicking rocks, dancing in the streets, throwing
things, not agreeing with everything that men say..... these are things that
are not permitted (according to my companion). I just smile, and then maybe
just throw a smaller rock or something. :)
Not
much time. This week I spent a lot of time looking out my window and dancing to
Zumba like a maniac because my compy was sick. I’m keeping the faith and
smiling through it all. One step at a time to become more like Christ and just
be happy, happy, happy.
Love you all!
