Keep Praying Please!

This morning at 7:10, we had a knock on the door and there were 3 of our Bo'me standing outside the door. One was shaking and she explained to Bryan that she had been mugged this morning at the bus stop while she was waiting for a ride to Beautiful Gate. One man walked by going one way and another man walked by going the other way and the next thing she knew they both came up to her and grabbed her purse. She tried to fight them and keep hold of her purse, but it was dark and being a holiday, there was no one else around to help her fight them off. They wound up throwing her to the ground and ripping the purse off her shoulder. She was shaking as she told the story to Bryan. He made sure she was ok and then prayed for her before she went back to her house.

After I got dressed I walked to the house to see if she was really ok or if she wanted to go home (sometimes they are a little shy around Bryan). She told me that she was fine to stay but was just having some pain in her shoulder. I went home and got some ibuprofen and gave it to her and we talked a little more. Her attitude was amazing and she said that she was just happy that they did not kill her. She also laughed because while she was getting ready to come to work, she had a feeling to hide her money, so she hid it in her bra :) They only got R15 and her phone charger so she was happy that she did not have much else in her purse. She is such a lovely lady who loves the Lord with all her heart.

Please keep praying for Lesotho and especially for our staff this weekend as they get ready to vote. Pray for peace and calm in the city both now and after the results are in. Also, please pray that God will fill the hearts of all of us with the kind of love and positive outlook like the staff member who was mugged. I am trying not to worry about our staff too much, but it is hard to lay that burden down.
