It is February 15 and we’re going to GeGhah. This is the village of elephants. The people are a little richer here, but just as desperately in need of good health habits and the gospel as all the other villages.
Entering the village
We have a really nice system of treating patients. Tucker is the scribe, I treat, and BletJhaw is the pharmacist translator and everything else!
It is the same routine. We treat roomful after roomful of patients and pray with each group as possible, then we eat their food, and try to have a brief worship. In this village they are not so attracted to it as in the others.
My favorite little house in this village
. . . and the lady who lives there
The people here are usually cheerful, happy and smiling, but there is a lot of suffering, hardships and daily hard work, particularly for the women. My whole heart goes after them. Won’t you please include them in your daily prayers?
