Hi everyone,
Sadly there's not much to report, so this is just a check-in.
We've entered the last month until I return home to blistering, blizzarding, snow. Not that the weather here is much different. (Glooobal waaaarming....)
The hospital is still well. I was able to scout out a nearby hospital for "chronic invalids", because one of our patients needs to be transferred. It was one of the very few times here where I had to restrain myself from crying. Disadvantaged as the hospital is, visiting it definitely renewed the idea that impoverished Africa is certainly not hopeless. In the horrible circumstances, people are still working hard with what they have. There are amazing people that are really dedicated and devoted to third-world development, despite the fact that most of the world has given up.
*steps off soapbox*
Hope everyone is well.
I wish I had more to report.
Namaste.

Hi Erin,
I checked into your site to catch up on what is happening to you and with you. You sound like you are having a great experience. You are doing wonderful work. How time flies -- you are going home the end of the month. I will have to wait until summer to catch up with you. All is well in Oklahoma -- still doing a lot of building. Our church did a "trunk & treat" for halloeen this year. We were stationed next to the home football game and caught folks as they were coming in. We advertized so kids and some parents were dressed in costume. We decorated our cars/trunks and had a great time.
Keep up the great work. Love you. Mary R
