Update to previous post

Ntate Mpho's daughter is doing much better. She has been going to the doctor often to get her bandages changed and starting on next Monday, she will go for physical therapy. The burns on her arms and stomach were not as severe, but the burn on her chin is. She had a difficult time eating for a day or two, but her parents were able to force feed her enough to get her medicine to stay down. We praise God for the healing she has had so far and we are trusting and asking Him that she will have a full recovery. Ntate Mpho has been so positive and was even saying we needed to rejoice in all situations the day after the accident happened. He admitted that it is not easy, but he amazed me with his positive attitude and thankful heart.

My friend Lindy is not doing well from what I hear. We are all struggling with this news. Mercy and Faith immediately drew cards for me to send her as soon as I explained how sick she has become and that there may not be much time before she meets Jesus. I took pictures of their cards and posted it on her facebook page because I wanted her to see them right away. My kids are asking some tough and honest questions about God and sickness and I am trusting Him for the answers. I know there is nothing we could really do to help the situation, but I think honestly, we'd all like to just be home right now. We are trusting God that He has us here for a reason and so we will stay the course, but our hearts are in Zeeland.

"Draw near to God and He will draw near to you." Please keep praying for Lindy (and her family) and Ntate Mpho's daughter.
