Wednesday February 7th

Today was a day that I was able to spend with Daniel.

He is a young man that has been a friend since the very first team sent by CBC came in 2012. We visited the school he was teaching in today. He no longer teaches since he is attending University to be a lab technician. He is currently a sophomore there. We have a great relationship and I’m glad to be a friend of his. I gave him my camera to walk around and take some pictures today. I’ll ask him again perhaps if the pictures he took are something I find interesting. He did get a close up of a chicken if that’s any idea of his photography skills. I just read that line to him so I have his permission to share.

Emmanuel and Wintee left this morning and came back around 4:00 p.m. He had invited me to come along and he said I could wait around for them to finish their scheduled meeting. I chose to stay back and I think that was the correct choice. Emmanuel has a habit of being so busy that schedules get changed frequently. It was good for them to have some time not worrying about me.

The ladies in his home fed me and cared for me by doing my laundry today. They are extremely hard workers. Emmanuel in turn helps them as well in any way he can with food or other needs. The cultural differences between the USA and Liberia are many. The care for those who need help is done in a different way than the government helping out. This is not available in Liberia so you see many families helping extended families and friends in exchange for helping around the home.

An update on Blessing is that she is doing great. Thanks for praying. I didn’t know what to expect from typhoid, but the injections she is getting twice a day have been helping greatly.

Tonight we continued our study through Jerry Bridge’s book, ‘Trusting God’. We had a good time of discussion and we will continue this tomorrow night. We made it through chapter 3 tonight. We will attempt to do 4 & 5 tomorrow night.

I will be planning The Bible Overview class with the teens on Friday and Saturday. Sunday I will be at Titus’s church with next week up in the air. I will be meeting with Titus to finalize any other plans for next week. I’ve been invited to speak at two other venues, but at this time I am committed to Titus and his church.

I look forward to seeing the children at Betty Jonah Orphanage soon. I also hope to encourage Mother Betty as she still struggles with the passing of her husband, Father Anthony this past year.

I plan on meeting with Pastor Moses, not to be confused with nurse Moses, to get a better understanding of the spiritual oversight of the CBC Clinic.

I’ll try to get more pictures for you tomorrow. The one below is from yesterday. This is Naomi Johnson. She is one of the trainers for Women of Purpose.
