now that the internet is working...
All is quite well for me over here. yesterday was really a special day. I was absolutely floored by how big this mission is. before coming here, i just pictured a few small buildings, and it just kept going. hospital, outpatient center, schools (including what will become a high school), elderly care, tb clinic, maternity ward...it just kept going and going. Keith and Ida really are special people and i have new appreciation for the energy they have to maintain...especially emotionally...to keep a place like this going as successfully as it is. Naturally, there are huge amounts of need here...I came here expecting that, but I am feeling hopeful that the people in this area have some kind of opportunity to obtain that help whereas TONS of people throughout this huge continent do not. I'm excited to see what kind of opportunities there will be for us to work around here...i expect it to be a lot. Ben is needing this computer now, and everything he needs to be doing is far more pressing than this....but hope everyone back home has a lovely day!!!!!!

I'm glad you posted. I had no idea the place was so big. Plenty of opportunities to help, I would imagine. It sounds like anything your group can do just to ease the burden on Ida and Keith will be beneficial to the whole community. I'm glad you're there.

Hi Dan
Great to read a blog from you. I'm so happy that you a part of this experience. I can just see you sitting next to an elderly gentleman and feeling comfortable in the silence. We wish we could be experiencing it all with you. Love, mom
