Its a shiner of day! Things have been muddling along.
Paulina has been officially on school holidays now for almost three weeks and she also just passed her school exams, so she has enough credit to go into the next grade. We were all filled with relief and happiness at her passing. She was so excited as it meant a reward. A trip into town to eat grilled chicken!!
We have had a visit from Social Services which went well. We haven't had official notice, but we got the paperwork required for Paulina to apply for ID and passport. Her ID is in process and due the second week of December, and then for the passport which means a WHOLE family trip to SA hopefully in January!! The excitement is building while we are planning this special and momentous trip.
In less than a week we have two teams from WorldRace come to stay with us for the month of December, which means an extremely full house and busyness and fun!
Felito has come back from Outreach at Mazivilla which went amazingly well. Lots of people healed and walking closer to King Jesus. (photos to come)
On negative side, Jiametos son, David has been admitted to hospital. He has some sort of infection with his fever spiking every couple of hours and with vomiting and diareeah. He had a blood transfusion after his blood tests came back as he was anemic. His fever hasn't spiked as high since blood transfusion. Have done loads of tests, and are awaiting results. Please keep him and his family in prayer. Jiametos wife also has malaria.
Was so sad going into children's ward, wish I could do more. We leave feeling so drained and almost frustrated at the standards and lack of care and compassion.
In the same ward as baby David we Saw two cases of infected scabies and childhood leprosy and also a little girl with a massive swollen tummy, its not worms, so she has had a test to see if its a tumor. Poor thing is in pain and cant hardly stand as it unbalances her. They are from Inhabane, which is about 6 hours drive from Maputo and have no family here. Mother is freaked out. We prayed for them. Please keep these dear children in your prayers too.
Feltios sister, Raquel, had her baby yesterday late morning. She had a boy, its number six for her. She is exhausted after over 28 hours in labour, she also nearly had a c-section but he finally came and weighs 4.5kg. Baby and Mum are doing well, but ask for prayers as she copes with a new born. Im now hurriedly making another baby quilt as the other one is just too pink.
God bless every one of you. Thank you for all your love, support and prayers! We love you all!
Jesus, He is the REASON for the SEASON! bring it on as we celebrate our maker and King.
