Things are slowing down...

     Things are slow right now at the CTC, and I am so thankful for that!  When I came off shift this morning at 8 am we had three patients inside and one in the observation tent.  The old lady spoken about in the previous post is now well and ready to go home.  She should have gone home today, though I am not sure if the people coming for her got here yet.  She lives very far away so they are bringing a donkey to take her home.  The two other patients are men, the one should go home tomorrow, and the other is improving rapidly.  I did hear that a little boy came in today pretty dehydrated, and that Thea got an IV going in him.  

     I am enjoying getting to know the people who just came down.  They have pitched right in both in CTC life and "normal" life.  Since things are slow at the CTC we have time to get to a few other things that have been needing to be done.  Our girls house has needed a thorough cleaning, and we are finally getting around to it.  It has been raining a good deal, so our laundry has been getting a double or triple rinse, not that we mind - until we need dry clothes!  

     Here are a few random pictures you might enjoy.  The moths come every night to the CTC, and most of them are beautiful!  I have never seen so many iridescent colors on moths or butterflies!  The other picture is one of me trying to chop open a coconut.  It didn't work, and I ended up laughing so hard I had to let someone else finish the job!  The juice was really good after we got the thing open!   I'll leave you with a picture of the sunset I saw this evening; I was able to watch the sun go down since I'm off shift for tonight.

     God bless you; and please keep us in your prayers!

For His Glory,
