Hospitalised Infections?

Just had to blog it so I can correct a couple of misconceptions my fellow blogger may have conveyed to you. When Marrian was talking about infections, she actually meant Ed. He visits quite often... He's kind of an unwanted visitor and hangs around like a bad smell...

And when she was talking about being hospitalised, the girl meant the hospitality of these people here is so amazing. They have so little but want to give so much... Albeit little, whatever they give is always prescious ... I guess this is what they really meant by 'it's the thought that counts'.

This group is the biggest and I think probably the craziest group there is. Valerie, Nermeen and Youstina (who float around all the groups) have also admitted to that. But it's heaps of fun. I love it. We all do. We are also really emotional. All of us. The first day, Minna started with the crying because she was so touched by all the overwhelming love and happiness that these kids show towards us. Next, it was Marrian (the baby of the group) and after that it was Ezabelle. Then it was my turn. I was so incredibly touched when I went on my second home visit. It wasn't about the poverty, I've seen it all before, but it was when I visited two of my kids from class on the second day. Those two are the rowdiest kids in class, but they've always been my favourites. And here's the touching part, the next day (and up until now) they have been much better in class, but the very next day, one of them came up to me about 6 times during the class just to randomly tell me that he loves me. I cried like a baby. I didn't realise we made THAT much difference, but we really do.

I'm sure we'll have more fun the rest of our time here, make the most of it, spiritually and while serving. Let's pray that God helps us through the rest of it.

Til the next time, God bless.

Mary, Mattay
