TEN DAYS UNTIL DEPARTURE MIXED FEELINGS

HI, SORRY FOR THE DELAY IN WRITING VERY BUSY SCHEDULE AND NO ELECTRICITY . THE BLESSINGS CONTINUE FROM GOD . I AM BECOMING A AMERICAN MOTHER AND GRANDMOTHER TO MANY YOUNG AFRICAN FAMILIES AND HAVE EVEN HAD A CHILD RENAMED AFTER ME. MY WORK CONTINUES TO BE NEW AND EXCITING AS I DO MORE EDUCATING , AND INTERACTION WITH MANY WIDOWS, AND ORPHANS. I AM REALLY CONNECTING WITH THE CHILDREN AND TEENAGERS IN SO MANY SPECIAL WAYS. SEVERAL TEENAGEAGER AMD I SAT IN THE GRASS TALKING ABOUT THERE GOALS AND AMBITIONS JUST LIKE AT HOME EXCEPT FOR THE POVERTY AND LACK OF RESOURCES, I FELT REALLY HONORED THAT THEY WERE ABLE TO CONNECT WITH ME ON SO MANY LEVELS. ONE GIRL IN PARTICULAR WHO REALLY WANTS TO GO TO SCHOOL BUT IS AT SR. ONE LEVEL AND HAS NO FUNDS. TODAY WITH THE ADMINISTRATOR SHE AND I TALKED AND I AM SPONSORING HER EDUCATION FOR ONE YEAR . WE WENT SHOPPING FOR SCHOOL NEEDS JUST LIKE A GRANDAUGHTER, SHE WAS IN TEARS OF JOY. I ALSO HAVE DECIDED TO USE SPONSOR MONEY TO PAY FOR THE SURGERY OF THE YOUNG BOY I SPOKE OF EARLIER , HE WILL NOT HAVE A NORMAL LIFE WITHOUT IT, AND I KNOW GOD IS GUIDING ME TO HELP THRU YOUR SUPPORT AND PRAYERS. WE HAD A TEAM OF EUE SPECIALIST FROM ONE OF THE MAJOR HOSPITALS COME AND DO EYE EXAMS AND SURGERIES FOR TWO DAYS THIS WEEK, OVER 200 PEOPLE RECEIVED EXAMS AND 15 SURGERIES. I WAS ABLE TO ASSIST WITH SURGERIES , TOOK PICTURES, DISPENSED GLASSES,MEDS ETC. ALL SERVICES WERE FREE THRU SPONSORS AND VERY PROFESSIONAL TEAM.
LAST WEEKEND WE VISITED THE MORE MOUNTAIN AREA HIKED ABOUT FOUR MILES UP AND DOWN HILLS, THRU BANANA AND JUNGLE GROWTH TO THREE DIFFERENT WATERFALLS, REALLY SPECTACULAR , SAW SOME GEOREOUS FLOWERS , ALL IN THE RAIN, MY SHOES WILL NEVER BE FREE OF MUD. IT WAS WORTH IT , FOUR TWENTY YEAR OLDS AND ME , THEY WERE IMPRESSED WITH MY ENDURANCE .SUNDAY WE WENT TO SIMPLE VILLAGE CHURCH MADE OF TIN WALLS AND ROOF, WONDERFUL FELLOWSHIP AND MESSAGE, AND TESTIMONY FROM PEOPLE FREED OF SOME TERRIBLE EVIL SPIRITS, AND KNOW WORKING FOR GOD. ALSO TAUGHT IN THE AFTERNOON , FORTY WOMAN FROM A VILLAGE,

HEALTH PRINCIPALS , NUTRUTION, SAFE WATER ETC, ,THEY ARE SO EAGER TO LEARN AND ARE SO APPRECIATIVE.MY TIME IS WINDING DOWN WITH VERY MIXED FEELINGS , I FEEL LIKE I AM GOING TO LEAVE FAMILY , EVERYONE IS SO LOVING WHEN LOVE IS SHOWN THRU GODS HANDS.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTINUED PRAYERS , KATHY
