would like to start by sharing a joke from my humorous room-mate Mark, who, before allowing us to go to bed, asks the ingenious question, “Why are there interstate highways in Hawaii?” Things have been going well.
Now, today was a first for even Stieg and Marilyn. After a morning visit to the craft-market to witness/barter and hair braiding for Ali, Christine, and Amy (I almost didn’t recognize them) we headed off for Falmouth Hospital. Upon arrival, we met with the many sick men and women to share the love of Christ and previously prepared gift bags. We left an hour later with mixed feelings of compassion and injustice, but whatever we felt, we knew that God would use our work for His will.
One HUGE Yeah God was Stieg was able to pray with Judith Row, a family member of a patient at the hospital, and she accepted Christ as her Savior!!!!
The final stop for the day was at the Anchovy Orphanage up in the hills with children we had played with the previous day. Some of us had a great day of growth both for them and the kids, others of us struggled more than desired. One specific story that comes to mind is an older girl sharing songs that she had written with Annika and Collette.
The day ended with dinner, devotions, and a downpour of rain, and of course some blogging… goodnight.
