Today [Thursday 1/31/08 NH time], Joy and I took Johanna with us on our way to see our favorite horses. Well, OK, we called her on my cell phone and turned it on speaker so we both could hear her. At one point the three of us were laughing and it almost felt like she was right there with us! It's really amazing when you think about it. Hearing someone so clearly, talking from across the ocean in another continent!
She is doing very well, pretty tired at the end of the day. On Thursdays they spend time with some street boys. She really loves it - they are LITTLE boys! :-) While we were talking she was in the school dining room and was watching three geckos crawling and chasing each other at the top of the wall. I asked her if she could pick them up and she said she couldn't because they are very fast. !
She asked for prayer as she needs to decide where to do the Introduction to Primary Health Care Course. YWAM offers it in many places and she had been planning on going to the one in Australia but then she found out that it is also offered in South Africa. She would rather stay in Africa, but she also wants the best possible academic training. But first she will need to come home and work and raise money to go again. The Lord is preparing us for the day when our children will leave and won't come back except for quick visits. We are grateful for His grace!
Until then, I'm looking forward to June!
God's blessings to all
Don't forget the orphans and widows who are too many to count...
