Good evening from Siloam Guest House!

Everyone is ok, though the dehydration/exhaustion/travelers fun stuff is making the rounds. Fortunately, we have Dr Alan, Dr John, and, of course, super nurse Karen. They make room calls.

Tuesday morning we worshiped in a local congregation, but those pictures and stories will need to wait a bit (see previous post, Soap, Soup, and Salvation).

Another sst of beautiful schoolchildren greeted us with all their hearts.

At Siloam Boarding School, the girls put on a program for us, complete with singing and tumbling. That’s Pastor Janne, who many in Northern Illinois know, in one picture; Bishop Clements in another. Pastor Janne and Pastor Theophilus at Siloam have been our day to day guides-caretakers-question answerers-and all around wonder workers.

Most of the group went to a church/boarding school this evening, and our medical team did a clinic of basic checks for a number of the children. Karen reports that they were not malnourished – a tribute to their teachers and caregivers, who are making the most of very tough conditions. Pastor Reed and Deaconness Cheryl led the other kids in singing and playing with the soccer balls we brought.

Another region of the diocese tomorrow. Pray for those who are ailing and safe travels for us.

Peace.
