A refreshing rain falls after a hot day in Tandala. A cool clean breeze blows on my neck. A busy day behind us, this is a welcome change from the humidity and heat.
Wilma spent most of her day meeting with Pastor Deolo and others from the HIV/AIDS ministry. There is so much for her to learn and she is really immersing herself into the ministry. Deolo is regaining his strength after a few weeks of suffering with a severe sinus infection, his timely recovery the day we arrived was nothing short of a miracle. He told us he prayed that if he was supposed to remain sick while we were here, then so be it. He placed his whole recovery in God’s hands, in God’s perfect timing.
Wendy spent all day with Bofio the dentist here. They unpacked trunks, discussed an education program to train others in dentistry and self training methods for himself and ideas for staff support. In other words, she did a lot of talking today and Bofio did a great job with his English.
I kept myself busy in the lab unpacking trunks, maintaining/calibrating analyzers and training lab staff. The lab did very well during my two year hiatus. They have done a wonderful job providing testing for the hospital; it is so encouraging to me.
Today’s rain after a hot day got me thinking of how the rain is like Jesus washing our sin (hot, humid weather) away. It is refreshing, renewing and it changes us in ways we never thought were possible.

ReplyDeleteThis is such a great picture! There are many places that it could have been taken, as it's SO typical of the countryside in much of Africa!
