As I walked into the house one afternoon this past week, the song  “My Jesus knows just what I need” was playing.  That phrase replayed in my mind. How true!! I soon began to think of the many ways that God had blessed us over the past several days. After a week of sleepless nights/ […]

One morning when I arrived at clinic, I noticed that someone had changed the quote on the white board. I didn’t really stop and read it till later in the morning. “I will never give you more then you can handle. I will let you bend but will not let you break” -Jesus. Wow, just

The road between the clinic and the mission house is lined with growing crops.  The last several weeks have been filled with visitors from North America. It’s been great to have the extra help for some of the projects that we have been doing around here. Another blessing is the many things that are brought

Clinic life this week has been relatively slow compared to the past several weeks. Our week has been full though with training and teaching sessions. Brian Evelth, a paramedic and Mary Strubar a Nurse Partitioner/ Midwife came down for a week. Every afternoon is spent at the clinic filling our brains.  One thing I have
