It is Monday evening at Soddo Christian Hospital. We are doing well.
Unlike last year when Rhett served here, things have not slowed down any during
week two.
Your continued prayerful support is appreciated. His back is feeling better than last week. Not well, but better.
The young families here who have dedicated themselves to full time medical missions are all such a blessing. They have struggles beyond anything that you could imagine. It has been in some cases, heartbreaking to hear some of their struggles. It is only through the strength that our Lord and Savior that these folks can make it through each day.
Pray especially for a young general surgeon, David Hardin and his wife Carissa. They have five young children and have only been here since April. The transition has been difficult.
Rhett continues to have an upbeat attitude and tries to be an encourager for the young doctors here.
Most of my time continues to be working on the new charts and helping the young mothers with their children. There are 17 soon to be 18 young children amongst the 5 younger families here. So there is an abundance of "grandma Emmy" fixes here.
I look forward to going out to the village clinic on Thursday. The Ethiopians are preparing for their New Year's Day celebration on Wed., September 11th. They are excited about the holiday.
It is my understanding that tomorrow night there will be many bonfires to ring in the new year.
On a side note.. We experienced a first on medical missions trips. We were able to watch the Panthers figure out a way to lose last night. One of the doctors is from the Seattle area and invited us to watch the football game last night on his lap top. It was a live feed from his parents tv. Too neat!
