A lot can change in a few weeks’ time!    Some things for better, some for worse.  We see a lot of both here at the clinic.   It’s always a special encouragment to get to see good changes-   like babies gaining weight, wounds healing up, and pain going away… And then- there’s the disappointing changes.  Like a tiny baby that

      … But God loves everybody. And wouldn’t He be blessed looking down on this sight? There was dear Miss Katie, bathing and combing this poor deserted lady. It was such an angel’s work. Clinic had just finished, but Miss Katie was not finished yet. She could not stand to see this poor

 It’s a cozy, rainy, afternoon. Ro and I ran through the rain to clinic this morning, with big mugs of hot coffee. Due to the rain, numbers have been down… but since the rain makes the steep trails more treacherous we’ve been seeing ugly gashes. And today- a sliced ear.  This poor little girl was

Hi to you all!   I wonder what your day was like today…:)It’s been very rainy here the past few days, which we’ve been very grateful for ’cause we needed it!   I don’t think all the clothes on the line needed it, but they should be extra clean after getting close to a dozen rinses!  🙂   Something that’s not so
