Today is my eldest sister's birthday. Happy Birthday, Lois.
The Linfield nursing students went to the hospital today here in Douala, so Joe and Barb and I all stayed here. The morning was nice and relaxing. As usual, Ruth had many errands to run. She is astonishingly full of energy. The government has given WEH its quarterly check to buy food to deliver to the orphans it has been given oversight of, so Ruth had much to do. She had to calculate how much beans and rice to get and order that, and salt and bars of soap and cooking oil. Later a truck arrived with humongous bags of beans and rice and stacked them all on the veranda. By evening we all began the long task of preparing 430 sacks of groceries which we will deliver to orphans' caregivers next week. We weighed out 2 kilos of beans and bagged them, and wrapped 2 large bars of soap in newspaper for each sack. We hardly made a dent in the task!
