Yes, Marianne, Jesus was single, and Paul had a lot to say in favor of singleness, which was why I felt bad for those young people being totally pressured as if singleness were not even an option, let alone a very honorable one. But in traditional Africa, singleness (and infertility) have always been outside social norms, simply not a conceivable path for "good people." Thanks for your encouragement, everyone.

Write about anything that is happening. It is sure to be a lot different then anybody elses experience. Do you ever read any of the other blogs from medical people. The people working in “regular” hospitals? It is part of my job to scan through them. It is as if so many have lost their soul, their love of humanity. Their purpose has become distorted; burned out, cynical; an us against them group for the most part. I love to read your blog. It is inspirational. You are so enthusiastic and dedicated about your job. You are doing a whole lot of something with a whole lot of nothing. You like the people you are taking care of. You don't judge anybody. By the way, always single, and always been happy about it. When you come right down to it Jesus was single. Hmmm you wonder what to write about. Write about anything that is happening.

The work of a missionary is often wearying, long and drawn in many ways. But the Lord upholds. When we get to the end of our strength and resources, His strength and resources can see us through. Love in Christ, Yomi Dear Mike,

After all that's what 'grandparents' are all about. Even though I've been out of touch, know that I'm thinking of you all often. I'm really glad that you will be on furlough in six months. You two need a break. I'll keep my fingers crossed that Luke can join you. :) Hi Blyth Family,
