A night of few words....

I was not going to write anything today because I am feeling rather terse, but at the request of my momma... here is a little something.

First of all, new pictures

These are pictures of my time in Ganta, BBQ from 2 weekends ago, trips to the field and the clinic and my weekend in Robertsport (a beach). I had a nice weekend away after feeling frustrated during the week. A nice little beach escape.

I also talked to Audry, one of the directors this weekend and talked over my plans for the coming weeks. We decided that I would spend 3-4 weeks here (hopefully 3) working on the PD Hearth nutrition intervention, and then going to Ganta to work at the clinic there for the rest of the time. I feel more useful at the clinic and I really need the hands on time, rather than all the time spent here in the office. The new girl, Danielle, will come up here this week, so it will be nice to have a buddy finally!

In other news.... poor little Daniele, the really sad case from the last post, didn't make it. I am very saddened by this, but hope to make a difference in the fututre at the clinic and through my work with prevention here. Thanks for your prayers, the little guy is free from pain and home with God now.

Love you all, and I promise I will write more next time!

    Thanks from me too. I'm glad you made it to the beach. And just so you know, you look beautiful without makeup!

    Dear Nicole,

    You are making such a difference in the lives of people. You will never regret fulfilling your life's calling, even though it's difficult. Trust me - as a nurse I've had to do some difficult things too - and I've felt scared, lonely, overwhelmed, etc. at times. But I wouldn't change it for anything. And Rick took a huge pay cut to work in children's ministry, but he's never been happier.
    So when you get discouraged, just remember, your never alone. Jesus said, "I was hungry and you gave me something to eat." So just think, you're hanging out with Jesus even before you get to heaven! And there will be a huge mansion (with no bugs!) waiting for you when you get there. And by the way, you do look beautiful without makeup!
    Love,
    Your Cousin Laurie
