I’m thankful for the renewal and fellowship I had yesterday.
I’m thankful for my missionary family. Marie’s prayer (even if it’s in German) to make this journey easier, Lilly’s biting, joking sarcasm to cheer up the mood, Desmod’s hilarious accent which can make everything he says sound 10x funnier than it really is.
I’m thankful for the cultural team here, Pastor Martin, Tony, Dorcas, Ibrahim, Lillian, and everybody else.I’m thankful for those who helped me get there.
For Dave Kase, for stepping out on a limb that one day after church, chasing me down at my work-place. For my supporters, for making this all very possible. For my family, for backing me up each and every step of the way. For those who are praying for me, who make the journey infinitely easier. For the entire CHI team, for their guidance and coordination.I’m thankful for the safety I have so far.
I’m thankful for the patients that I’ve met so far, and the patients I will meet over the coming many many months.
I’m thankful for all the training, and the friends I made at that training.
I’m thankful for Amanda, who has put up with my emotional whining and prayer requests for almost 4 months now, and who is now at 65% funding for her return trip here!
I’m thankful for God, who has blessed me beyond measure, and who has now called me to spread that blessing to everybody else.
Oh, and I’m thankful for this morning’s cup of caffeine
