The second day I went out with Drs. Ralph Neal and David Weed to do a home visit for a woman who was too sick to come to clinic. When we saw her, we knew she was sick, laying quietly in bed and sweating. She had had abdominal pain for two days and the night before she got worse. She had an acute abdomen--possibly appendix or severe gallbladder disease. Thankfully the family was agreeable to getting her to the hospital and she was operated on but had to go to the ICU after. Today, Juan, who lives in that town let us know that she is getting better and should be moved to a regular bed soon. Be in prayer for her and especially her family as they have a 5 month old baby that won't be able to nurse for several days/week. There was a donation from a good friend of ours who wasn't able to come this year and we are using it to help them with the expenses they will have for travel and medicines and formula for the baby.
We are thankful to God for his allowing us the opportunity to work and worship with all of these great brothers and sisters. And we thank them for giving of their time and gifts to serve with us!

Good times! We can't wait till we can come back! Kemmel, Claire really misses you. She asks about you a lot. Charlie's mom is here for the week and the other day I asked her if she knew who was coming to see her. She said, "Kemmel?"
