Preparing for Zim



I have had a very sweaty day. I am currently covered in sweat and mealie meal flour. We just packed the trailers for our trip to Zimbabwe tomorrow. Several bags of mealie meal and each family gets a bag filled with oil, beans, flour, sugar, matches, dish soap, peanut butter, and a few other things. We leave bright and early tomorrow at 5am and I am so looking forward to it. It will be a long road trip to be able to get to know my fellow travelers better and get to experience much of the South African countryside as we head to the border. Please pray for safety, ease at the border, and mostly that we will be a blessing to the Zimbabwean people.

We will come back late Sunday night so I will write more on Monday. Otherwise things are going well. I worked in the creche (day care) today and took out my first sutures on a little boy. The creche is quite an experience that I will have to share more of later.

Love and Blessings!

Molly, Congrats on getting there!
I just read all your enrties and as humble as you are, I think what you're doing is amazing. AS we continue to slog away here at TCC making our little difference, you are making huge ones!
The "sisters", and especially the patients are so lucky to have you there.
I wish you all the best, and I look forward to continuing to read about your life there and your adventures!
Take Care, stay safe, be happy,
Chris Smith
