Day 4

So right now there are 6 volunteers, there will be only 3 by tomorrow. And just the two of us on most days. So the work is going to be a lot harder. Pray more volunteers come! Yesterday we celebrated the birthdays for the month of August. There was cake, ice cream and presents. Also yesterday we went on the weekly trip to the market...that was fun. The pictures will explain! The kids here are the sweetest kids ever. A boy just came back from the hospital, Luis, we had never met him. He is a burn victim from a house fire, he survived with massive burns all over his body particularly his face and head. He loves giving hugs and lots of kisses. He is such a loving playful kid. Please pray for a new patient we are getting. He is a 20 yr old boy who had a terrible accident which really messed up his leg. They did surgery but because of the poor medical care here, someone at the hospital put heat on the damaged tissue, which allowed bacteria to flourish. Ultimately his leg up to about the knee turned black and needed to be amputated. He will be coming here to stay and wait for a prosthetic leg. He is severely depressed over losing his leg, so please keep him in your prayers. OK well we're off to play with the babies before mass.
Keep praying for us!
