Sara's Journey

Monday May 11th still no internet!! It is getting annoying at this point. But we did have rain last night which was awesome! Also, last Friday, Ryna and I got to go the beach c a group that was visiting some missionaries here. While at the beach Ryna stepped on something which stung her foot. The group said we had to pee on it. Although the group was all men, I ended up being the one to pee on her foot; the guys refused! It was seriously so funny, and difficult. And of course the pee did not work so it was a wasted effort, but we are beyond bonded at this point! Then Sunday we went on a long walk and reflected on our lives; and the fact that neither of us know what the heck we are doing! Later we took all the kids from the hospital on a walk, it was a surprise for Ryna because I had arranged a donkey ride for her! She really wanted to ride a donkey before she left, so I was pretty proud that I hooked her up! Also, never thought I would be arranging donkey rides. Today, my little buddy, Muto left which makes me super sad, and last Thurs. the kid who tried to pee on me left as well! My rat pack is dwindling. This morning at the clinic we started off by popping an abcess on a 4yo neck. Followed by a woman who brought her 3yo twins in. They are not walking, and are malnourished. The boy weighed 6kg, which is 13.2lbs, and the girl weighed 5.4kg which is 11.9lbs. These kids are 3 YEARS OLD, the mom showed us the birth papers. What the heck? There is something crazy going on with them, and of course we don’t know it is so they are our new mystery. But the best part of the day has been Robcheley, the mystery baby, smiled today!! We started him on txm’t for TB, and he is responding!!!! He has gained wgt, and today he smiled! I did a happy dance!!Praise the Lord!
