I hear the student with malaria is better. She is staying in the motel and returning to the hospital several times a day for IV treatments.
Once again we got a late start because Ruth couldn't get a driver. (Sane people don't drive here. The traffic is too crazy!) At least we weren't as late. We went to two places today. At the first one I started reading “The Cat in the Hat” in French to some of the children. Their teacher joined us, so I turned the book over to him. After each page he talked with them about it. He was great and they all enjoyed the book very much.
At the second village I occupied the children who were waiting by asking them to sing songs for me. We had a great time. For nearly an hour they each remembered different songs, and the others would join in – a good old-fashioned songfest for sure. At this location Barbara even was able to do some gynecological sessions with some women.
When we got back to Douala, by then after dark, Ruth and I had to stop by a pharmacy to order a bunch of drugs Barbara wanted. Ruth's pharmacist friend wasn't there, but Ruth found out she'd be there tomorrow morning. As we were leaving, there was her doctor coming to the pharmacy. He said he could get the drugs cheaper for us! What amazing timing. Thank-you, God.
