Moriah did not sleep last night so, her and I spent today resting... which of course sets us up for failure tonight:) Rob worked on his school papers which are due this week. We had several visitors from the mission today. It was Grace's birthday, she is one who helps clean and cook at the mission. She brought us breakfast and greeted us early this morning. It was also Noah's birthday today and he came to visit as well.
Does anyone have a guess as to why his name is Noah? Well his mother lived here at the mission when she was pregnant with him. He was born during monsoon season and the rains were so bad that it was impossible to leave the mission and go to the hospital. It was necessary for the missionaries here at the time to deliver the baby because the flooding was so bad. Well despite the incredible flooding, and inexperienced "doctors" Noah was born healthy. Noah seemed the appropriate name since he too survived the flood. This makes me grateful for many reasons. One reason is that my delivery was much easier!!! I am also grateful that Go has seen after His people here and met all their needs for a long time. We are new here and just begining to learn of all the incredible things the Lord has done.
We also got to play with hostel children next door today. They are very excited about Moriah. They all come and just look at her and talk to her. They love it. It is great to be able to bring a smile to their faces. They were also happy to have Rob take their pictures... They love the camera almost as much as they love Moriah! Pray for these children that God will continue to provide their needs in the absence of their families.
