Jan. 30

Ministry Partners and Friends,

Although I am  looking forward to being at home in my own bed today is a sad day for me as I leave Africa for my 16th time.

Thank you so much for praying for me as I did not cough as much during the night but still feel poorly.

I also appreciated the mosquito net they put up for me yesterday as last night the ones in my room did not keep me from sleeping.

 A very good African proverb!

And this morning I saw this proverb as I was looking for something else and although it made me smile because of the pesky mosquito in my room it also carries a very good message that God can use even the smallest things we do for Him. 

The cook here offered to make my dinner early since I will be leaving to go to the airport but I told him regular time with everyone else was fine. All the staff here is so nice, I forwarded my boarding passes to the man in the office, Charles, and he printed them out for me. Last year I did this before arriving at the airport and it worked well.

8pm is only a few hour away, time for the christian Uber driver the lodge uses to arrive to take me to the airport.

I appreciate each one of you who has partnered with me for and during this trip.
It is has been a special gift to me to know you were praying, please continue to pray for my health and travel home.

That none would be lost,

Arlene
