Another Update

So things here in Ukarumpa are good. I stay quite busy throughout the week. I am so thankful for my previous trainings because it absolutely prepared me for the type of patients I am seeing. It has been a month today since I have been in Ukarumpa which means I have been working in the clinic for 3 weeks. The patients are showing real progress and some have stopped coming because they are 100% better which is such a good thing because there are new patients who are trying to come and we have been having difficulty finding them appointments. This is a good thing, but I am praying that God will send someone to continue the work after I leave.

I have settled into a small group of girls which I am so thankful. Last week we had a time of worship and in the middle of it I realized I was the only American in the group. This verse popped in my head, "And He (JESUS) will be exalted among the nations. He certainly was 6 different nations were singing together praising the name of Jesus. How incredible!!

I met with the primary school music teachers on Wednesday and have begun working out the choreography for their musical, it's about King Josiah. It is really cute and will be lots of fun. The musical is March 12-13th which is the end of the school sememster.

Things here are pretty good. I do miss the folks at home, but God has provided much needed friends. I pray that He would continue to strenghten my friendships here and that I would be an encourager to everyone I come in contact.

Just talked to mom and dad and I ask that you please be in prayer for some folks back at home who are struggling with terminal illnesses. Two of the guys are from my church back in Camden. They both are such neat men and I pray for God's healing presence in their lives. There names are Tom and Jerry. I grew up with their children. Also for Karen who is my aunt's sister in law just that God would bring healing as only He can. Thank for you for your continued prayers here in Ukarumpa that God would continue to give me the knowlegde of how to treat these patients and that my time would be spent wisely and that i not worry about anything, but in prayer present my requests to God.

Thanks!!
