Praying

It’s our night set aside to pray so I am writing a short post.  I will post pictures of our fall festival sometime this week, but that takes more time than I have tonight   For now, here’s what happened around our house today:

David played early morning basketball.  Our Rwandan friend, Revokataa, who lives with her husband and 4 children a 45 minute drive west of Kara, came to town today to continue to get her 3rd child’s teeth fixed.  I took her to the Chinese hospital again and the dentist finally did a temporary filling on one of his teeth.  This is her third trip into town to try and get this taken care of.  He is supposed to return once a week for the next two weeks so the dentist can fill the other tooth temporarily, put a permanent filling in the other and then the next week, permanently fill the second tooth.  He was too busy to do more than one tooth today and he only works in the mornings.  I felt exasperated at the medical system here, again, today.  I ran errands around town with Caleb this morning: grocery store, tailor, Catholic Bakery, schoolhouse etc.  At 3 Andrea and I picked up the kids at school and took Maddie, Abby, Hannah, Elijah, and Aidan to the market.  We had a good time looking through clothes and other various objects   David spent the morning in prayer and meditation as his mentoring appt. was cancelled and bought some cles to build a compost box this afternoon for the agricultural work he’s doing with some of the Christians from Tchefengdaa.

Today’s Menu:

breakfast: gluten-free banana coffee cake (another of my altered recipes.  It was yummy!!)

lunch: sack lunches

dinner: Sausage Jambalaya, peaches

Scripture on my mind today:  Titus 2: 3-8 (Older women in the faith teaching younger women and Older Men in the faith teaching younger men how to follow Jesus)
