Last week was full of activity.  Lovemore, Christine and I spent time in Choma teaching on Moringa and hearing the wonderful successes of the hard-working CHEs there. Their group has more then doubled, helped people learn to build 500+ pit latrines, seen a church plant start 6-7 months ago and is at 60-70 people. It is so encouraging to see community development done by the people with hearts for spiritual development too.  

Friday I was at Liteta Hospital. Glad to learn the 3 y/o girl with pneumonia pulled through and went home Tuesday. Saw the variety again...minibus accident victims-scraped and likely few broken bones, thankfully no fatalities, femur fracture (dads carrying kids in chitenges is more dangerous then moms), spleen injury from mango tree fall, malnutrition/pneumonia, meningitis(puzzler b/c some lower limb paralysis), cellulitis, scalp wound and hip injury from cow stomping on patient...never a dull moment.

Just for fun:

The world's smallest "house" gecko. Found him perusing the walls tonight. I'd name him as a pet if I thought I could find him again; he's so tiny!

Yesterday was a great day. Morning service with a challenge to pray for break throughs in families the next 21 days. Be a David taking out Goliaths in God's power. Spent the afternoon with Nancy and Christine at a expo with local craft/retailers selling beautiful and yummy things for Christmas. Ended with a refreshing swim.

Today had a blessed morning. Christine has a work permit painlessly from immigration. We had two great contacts at the Ministry of Community Health for Mother and Child for Helping Babies Breath and the mobile clinic. Now just regular stuff--unpack groceries, clean house, work on classes.
