Hello everyone!!!  This morning I woke up like every other morning here to the sounds of animals and the army/police marching.  We had Peanut Butter Toast for breakfast, then went to an amazing devotion led by Stacie.  She told her story of how she came to the decision to stay here for a year and how God confirmed this for her using Psalm 139 multiple times through many different people.  Then it was off to the clinic for the girls and more construction and teaching of the pastors for the men.  Wound care has been pretty tame since arriving here….praise God!!  We have the usual Tonj wounds which are usually septic.  Then over in the Mama/Baby room things are going great….they are loving the new stretchs they are getting….most exciting news today is that John-Paul thinks one of the moms that came in might be pregnant with twins!!!!  Things died down in the clinic pretty early today so after lunch us girls got to have some good quality time and fellowship with Suzy!!!  It was wonderful….she has so many interesting and wonderful things to share!!! Then us girlies headed to the storage to work on sorting through the medical supplies again.

Just as we were sitting down for dinner…Sabet comes in the dinning hall saying John-Paul needs help.  So, Myself and Alicia go check it out.  It turns out we got a young man maybe 20-25 who came in with a very high fever and has been sick for about a month….at first we thought it was malaria we even started giving him the meds for it….when John-Paul noticed his eyes and realized he has severe anemia.  His anemia is so bad he is in need of a blood transfusion because he is going into congestive heart failure.  Unfortunately we do not have the ability to give him a blood transfusion here so we have to get him to Wau.  We are working on transportation and it looks as though we will get him there tomorrow.  So please be praying for him and travel mercies.  Also a grandma came in with her grandchild.  The Grandma brought the child because the mom was out drinking and does so most nights and days.  The child was around 3 or 4.  She came in with a fever and the grandma also explained that the child has had unexplained convulsions since she was 2.  So they have been taking her to a witch doctor….you can see wounds on her head and back from the witch doctor and the grandma says nothing helps.  At this point in time we don’t know what is wrong with the little girl.  She is staying over night in our clinic for the night.

We had a prayer meeting tonight which was extremely powerful!!!  We gathered around a fire (in this heat it was kinda crazy, but nice) roasted marshmallows and just spent and hour or so just singing praise to God and praying……it was absolutly amazing!  Well I guess that is it for today.  Goodnight from Tonj!
