We did not sleep well last night. The dogs were back in force and erupted into barking every hour or so. We are tired!
It has also been a sad and tough start to the day. We learn that one of the clinic receptionist’s 13 year old son died on the weekend, and a lady in admin’s brother died. We also hear that early Sunday morning a 5 month old baby died in the clinic.
Unfortunately, there are very few weeks when you are not confronted with death out here. And death from illnesses and diseases that are so easily curable. It is hard.
But the day goes on and work has to continue. Armorel had a day of admin and sorting out next month’s rotas, and I taught all morning on ‘The Question Words’. I then spent the afternoon in the office doing some more health insurance invoices.
As I sit here typing the dogs are already going crazy! This does not bode well.
Will be praying for you this evening. I simply can't imagine fully what it's like with sorrow so regularly a part of your daily routines, but God fully knows, and I'll be praying that you find greater and greater capacities for both joy and sorrow.
