Rhett and Emily Rudolph in Ethiopia



Dear all,
 It's Tuesday night and we are soon to retire. ( the rough trip out is catching up to us)
 Rhett is very busy, but excited about the work here. Yesterday he left the house at 6:30 am came home at 7pm, had dinner and turned around back up to hospital. Tonight, he has not had to go back and hopefully, he will get to rest.  We had dinner tonight with a retired couple from Norway. He is a radiologist , she a school teacher. It was interesting to hear their mission stories. A delightful couple who really love The Lord and the Ethiopian people.  I am working on updating the medical charts for the hospital. (Not a lot of fun, but am willing to work where needed) Today I went to a women's bible study. Part of their time today was spent discussing what study to do next. It was similar to discussions we have back home. (You know, getting a group of women to agree on something)?  Tomorrow is a men's Bible study which will be before Rhett starts surgeries.  The needs are MANY here. From the needs for more orthopedists, to the physical and spiritual needs of the people and the support that the hospital needs to function.  The missionary houses and the hospital could use some handy men to come help get things working properly. (This was a request at Bible study today).  I hope to go out to the village clinic soon. But, again am here to do what they ask of me, not what I want to do.  For some reason the hymn, "Count your Blessings" is on my heart.  I think I'll go to bed now and do just that.
Love and prayers,
Emily&Rhett
