24th January.

Big white fluffy clouds backed by a bright blue sky peak over the mountain while the brown cows graze on the green hillside.

Eli and Anna continue to work on school-sad to say that even on day 11 we've let a couple things get away from us. Overall school is going well.

I between school met 6 new patients at the clinic-all women and children. A new doctor started today for his year of government service. The cholera cases continue to drop but I've read that the numbers will likely rise again with the rainy season and because immunity only lasts 6-8 weeks.

Cory started to thin out the plant/tree nursery a bit by distributing a truck load of small trees this afternoon. The baby banana plants that arrived on Thursday now rest in larger pots and need to grow before they too can be given out to new homes.

Reports from the USA Embassy indicate that the delay in any decisions about the run off elections have now caused protesting to start up again. Still praying about my folks and D's trip as they are due to pass though Port next week Thursday. God knows and remains in charge but it would be nice to know if they get to come or not.

Thanks for the prayers.

It must be frustrating for them and you not knowing about the trip next week. We will pray that God shows them clear direction for His plan and if they come that He will provide protection and safety during their trip. Keep us posted!

It's so hard not knowing, isn't it?

May God guide and direct their path and yours.
