Praise the Lord and thank you all for your prayers! After three long weeks, I am finally feeling better!! The last medicine the doctor prescribed was strong enough to beat the cough. As I was praying on the bus today, I asked for the experiences on my trip to make me more ¨Christ-like¨and realized that Jesus suffered horribly without complaint... and I have never ceased to stop asking God to take this suffering away from me. Woah! It hit me hard. I pray that I will keep that with me throughout any other ¨sufferings¨I endure on this trip.
For those who want to send gifts for the orphanage... I have an address and a note. I have not heard of any other volunteers receiving things through mail. Thus, I have no idea how reliable or fast it would be. I would ask that if you want to send something that you do it in the next week so that it *hopefully* will get here before I leave. I will certainly let you know when it arrives!

I also realized that today is my 4 week mark. I can´t believe it! Honestly, the time has slipped by so quickly I am sad that it is halfway over.

ReplyDeleteso glad you're feeling better. your 'lesson' is one we all need, julie.
mailed pkg today. sorry, it's not much. the stuff inside is not where the problem lies. the cost of international mailing rates is almost prohibitive! so, only sent 4 lbs. :(
ReplyDeleteYay!!!! I bought stuff today, too, but I am going to let them use it and then put it back in my bag and take it home. The things I left were demolished. Sadly...
