No water today

So the city decided to shut off the water in the part of town the mission is in, aka, the place 5 of us girls are living and where hundreds of kids come thru each day and where there are normally 4 bathrooms for them to use, they are now, out of order.. This as means there is no brushing of teeth. No flushing the toilet. No showering. No cooking. No washing clothes. No washing dishes. No drinking it. No, well, you get the point.. Cecile and I walked to the store bout 1/2 mile away and carried 6 litres each home -- oh the joys..

It's been good though, I've been making the most of all my time here, catching up with as many people as possible and seeing kids and students I use to work with, ever chance I get. I saw one of my old Choose Life teens -- and his life has changed in every way. The rest of his friends and the ones I use to work with are all massively involved in dealing and doing cocaine and you can definetly be praying for them, bcuz it breaks my heart, but he however, and 2 of the girls (3 out of 11), have come thru knowing Jesus and having their lives transformed. 2 of them even went on a mission trip to Belarus that they can't stop talking about and are helping out in the mission here as leaders.. and if you would have known these ones like I did (and maybe you remember stories) -- then seeing them as I do now is actually mind blowing.. It's incredible!!! 180 degree change.. Thank God, and thank Him as well for what He is going to do with the others, that I believe He will all in His time.

Anyways, I am off again to meet up w/ Samaria.. you can be praying for my healing, I believe that Jesus has paid for my healing and by His stripes we have been healed and so therefore I walk in that.. however, the damp and cold and walking everywhere and sleeping in a frigid stone walls building, has gotten into my chest a little bit, but I walk in faith that I will not get sick, and your prayers in agreement for that would be great. Will write more later!! See you all next week!
